This week Phillip sits down and talks to Eric Deaton of the Eric Deaton Trio! Eric is a native of North Carolina that has called Mississippi home for a while now. Originally drawn to the state due to the rich and ongoing Blues heritage, Eric has carved out a home for himself in Oxford, MS playing guitar and bass for other musicians like Jimbo Mathus, Dan Auerbach, and Alvin "Youngblood" Hart before forming his own band to perform his original music.

You can find Eric online at his website but also on Spotify.

Tune into the 40 Watt Podcast for a grounded, gear-focused conversation about the sounds that shape our world. This isn't just a rundown of news and new releases; it's a deep dive into the tools and techniques that actually create the music. We get into the specifics-the hum of a particular tube amp, the history behind a classic guitar model, the subtle magic of a well-placed effects pedal-and trace how these elements ripple out to influence both contemporary artists and the legendary recordings of the past. Through candid interviews with people who live and breathe music, alongside our own straightforward commentary, each episode connects the technical dots in a way that’s accessible to both players and passionate fans. The 40 Watt Podcast serves as a workshop and a listening room, exploring not only what we hear but how it came to be, making the craft behind the art form the central story. You'll come away with a richer appreciation for the decisions made in the studio and on the stage, hearing your favorite tracks with a new, more informed ear.
