I had the amazing opportunity to interview El Dub (Lee Walsh) looping artist, and one man band. We talked about his latest album, as well as life during a Nationwide Pandemic due to the Covid-19 Virus. El Dub, whom has kept a very heavy touring schedule for years, has long been blessing the world with his amazing music. Music that is filled with messages of peace, love, positivity, healing and family. If you have never heard of El Dub, I highly suggest you get yourself familiar. However, the real magic, is to catch him live and watch the master at work. He’s known to change his music style to best fit the crowd he is playing for, making him an extremely versatile artist as well. For now, you can catch him on his weekly stream via his Facebook page El Dub Music (details below). Enjoy the interview!

Dance Your Face Off was fortunate enough to review the album, and also interview Jacob Dorris (lead singer/ guitar) about the new album.
