I have been a fan of them ever since meeting Maggie&#8217;s mother very fatefully doing, of all things, JURY DUTY. This story never gets old. Anyway, Maggie&#8217;s mom and I were talking while serving jury duty, I told her I was a music writer, and she said, &#8220;You need to hear my daughter&#8217;s band.&#8221; From there, I became a HUGE Lunar Vacation fan with a whopping 3 shows under my belt now!<\/p>\n<p>2024 saw Lunar Vacation releasing their 2nd full length album Everything Matters, Everything&#8217;s Fire which, in my opinion is their best stuff to date. I had a great time talking to Maggie and Gep about everything, and I really mean, EVERYTHING. Life on the road, Bob Weir&#8217;s wicked workout regiment, and killer ideas for merch are just a few things we gabbed about and I had an absolute blast. These two are hands down two of my favorite people to interview and it&#8217;s always a great time.<\/p>\n<p>More interviews at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/www.talkingthetalkwithdon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.talkingthetalkwithdon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Episode 113: Lunar Vacation\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vf2gKEQgObY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the 2nd time I&#8217;ve interviewed guitarist Maggie Geeslin and guitarist\/vocalist Grace &#8220;GEP&#8221; Repasky.
