For this episode, we got to sit down with Joel Mora. If you’re from around the Houston area, you most likely know him as the longtime drummer of punk rock stalwarts, The Hates. If you’re from around the Galveston area, you know him from Blunderbuss, Red Cap and Worthless Cause. If you’re from anywhere in the country, you know him as the owner of the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe, which he and his wife Angela took over in 2018 from the original owner, Rex Bell. Did we mention he started up Old Quarter Records, as well?
Joel has been on all sides of the musical landscape and we were happy to sit down with him to discuss life in the independent music world as a musician, fan, label owner and venue owner. This is our longest episode yet, but there was a lot to cover and we’re really excited with how it came out! We hope you dig it!
