J Mascis | Cardboard Sessions

What do alt, indie, punk and hardcore rock have in common? It starts with a J. And ends with Mascis. That’s J Mascis. American musical magician, singer, guitarist, and all-around one-man band extraordinaire. This episode takes us to Easthampton, Massachusetts, a small but intimate studio brought to life by Mascis’s unmistakable signature sounds. Mascis is arguably one of the most definitive guitarists of the last 50 years. Just ask Rolling Stone Magazine. He was #86 on the top 100 guitarists’ list. Mascis’s guitar wizardry and ever-evolving songwriting chops have found a home with a number of worthy bands like Dinosaur Jr, Deep Wound and the Velvet Monkeys. In episode 10, Mascis is the ultimate music maker as he showcases all of his savvy skills playing not one but all three cardboard creations. Achieving what no cardboard sesh musician has done before.
