TD Clark 🎸 Guitar Virtuoso Poison'd Crue, Shredding & Mars Jams | Hogpod Chicago Music Scene Podcast

This week on the Hogpod Chicago Music Scene Podcast, we’re joined by Brian "T.D." Clark — guitar virtuoso, shredder, songwriter, sideman, and creator of kids' music education tools, known for his fiery performances with Poison'd Crue (Poison tribute), his solo band, and collaborations across rock scenes.

Hosts Mike “Bongo” Orfanos, Mike Dermont, Pete Jansons, and Chris “Rhodesy” Rhodes talk with TD about:
🎸 His journey from piano at age 6 to self-taught guitar shredding in Chicago suburbs
🎤 Influences like Black Sabbath/Zeppelin, early neighborhood jams, and no formal lessons
📚 Marsh Jams kids' books series, Funporium guitar packs, and teaching young learners
🔥 Work with Poison'd Crue tribute, Dee Snider shows, and high-energy stage presence
🎶 Upcoming gigs, Chicago scene stories (including James Iha ties), and pro mindset
Plus: Holiday vibes, Scarface quotes, old fashioned drinks, demonetization records, and classic Hogpod chaos.
