1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Deep among the rolling hills and misty mountains of Western North Carolina lives a charismatic young man who has already, in his first 20 years on earth, managed to release 3 albums and 5 professionally produced music videos, sharing with the world music that is complex, rich, intense, vulnerable, cathartic, energetic, and gently explosive.&amp;nbsp; This kid is Ian Ridenhour, and I'm really excited to finally get a chance to sit with him and pick his brain a little. Ian has been playing music since before he knew what music even was.&amp;nbsp; All he knew was that that spoon and that pot made a sound that shook his little musical genius into being, and it hasn't stopped since.&amp;nbsp; I have so much to share with you on here, so I will stop yammering and start sharing.&amp;nbsp; Follow him on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on his shows, in person or virtual.&amp;nbsp; He has a website where you can buy his music and merch, and a YouTube channel where you will find a whole mess of videos, including the ones we chatted about during our conversation. Conveniently below!  And of course, Ian's appearance on &quot;Who Wants to be a Millionaire.&quot; He puts the 'Mental' in Mental Math.
