Michael Kinkle aka The Kink joins me at the venue he is books at, West End in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We took a deep dive into the state of the music industry, we covered his multiple new releases from his solo venture, as well as a collaboration with Caroline Mendoza.
We also discussed AI's place in art, and we went over the upcoming shows during Arkansas Music Week 2026 and some great things going on there in September and beyond.
