Simple Sessions #2 - Cori Rios from The Hourglass Cats
22/09/2022 Duration: 42minTap HERE to watch the video episode A few years ago I went to Last Exit Live, a super cool music club in downtown Phoenix, to see the amazing Mike Pinto. Mike came through as usual for the main show but it was the opener that really blew me away. And then I found out they were local. From that moment forward, The Hourglass Cats (THC) have been a heavy part of my music rotation. As Cori describes his style, "gypsy cowboy" couldn't more fitting. Join in as Simple Machine Brewing owner/brewer Marshall Norris and I sit down with Cori. We explore the journey that brought this Arizona music legend to this point and he plays us some songs. Enjoy!

Watch the video episode HERE to see our beautiful faces It's a place I've driven past dozens of times and if you've been to Sedona you probably have too. I'm pretty sure I've even peeked down and thought "wow, that would be a sweet place to stay". Creekside Inn is a quiet little tucked away spot right along Oak Creek in Sedona and right off of the 89 when you're coming into town. With great beer and more delivered right to your room, food made right in-house, and a level of privacy that tasks you to another world, Creekside Inn is the shiz. Join in as I sit down with owner/GM Adam Goldberg to talk about the ethos behind this gem and what Sedona is bringing to the food & beverage world. We are also joined by special guest Kali Gajewski, owner of Sedona Beer Co. Thank you Kali for providing the great beers! Glasses provided by JesseLee's Craft Beer Marketplace.
