Mike Gantzer on Joining Andy Frasco & the U.N., Family Life & All Those Rumors
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026
This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Nick sits down with guitarist Mike Gantzer to talk about joining Andy Frasco & The U.N., the rumors connecting him to Umphrey's McGee, and the long-awaited return of Aqueous. Mike opens up about becoming a father, rediscovering the joy of playing music without carrying the business on his shoulders, and why being someone people actually enjoy touring with might matter as much as musicianship. They also get into the changing jam-band landscape, sobriety on the road, forgotten songs, brutal van drives, Mario Party grudges, and Mike's post-show ritual of cereal and Zelda. Plus: Is touring worse than your parents getting divorced? Why does every older Uber driver have a saxophone story? And what feels better—having a family or being absolutely hammered? A funny and thoughtful conversation with one of the most in-demand musicians in the jam scene.
