In the Spotlight - Season 3 - Ep. 18 with Oh, Lonesome Ana - A Powered By Rock Podcast Short

Author: Powered By Rock December 9, 2022 Duration: 18:01

Hey there, it’s Isaac from Powered By Rock here to bring Evan Bailey from the Sacramento rock band Oh Lonesome Ana into the spotlight for a few minutes, and make him sweat with some on-the-spot questions.

Welcome, Evan. Are you ready to be put in the spotlight?

1 - Now, there are a lot of bands from California, but not necessarily a lot of famous ones from Sacramento. I know Deftones, Cake and Tesla are all from Sacramento. But do you have a favorite band from Sacramento that maybe people haven’t heard of?

2 - As Sacramento is the capital of California, I figured what better way to really put you in the spotlight than to see how well you know your state capitals. Can you name these state capitals:

  1. Oregon - Salem
  2. Nevada - Carson City
  3. Tennessee - Nashville
  4. Connecticut - Hartford
  5. South Dakota - Pierre
  6. Kentucky - Frankfort

3 - What is your favorite rock album of all time, and who is your favorite rock band of all time?

4 - I am not sure why, but when I listen to your album, I am often reminded of the movie Slingblade which is a great film starring Billy Bob Thornton about a boy who has a shitty stepdad (much like the lyrics of the songs on the album). What’s the best Billy Bob movie?

  • Bad Santa

5 - If you could change one thing about California, what would it be?

I want to thank Evan from the band Oh Lonesome Ana for stepping In the Spotlight and answering these hot seat questions.
