Kyle has been living in Boston for the last few years as a Berklee College of Music student, and since then has recruited a band of Berklee students, known as “Kyle Ray and the Hired Guns”. With Kyle being the first Kentucky-born musician we’ve ever had on the show, we of course had to ask Kyle all about the contrasts between Kentucky and the south as a whole, and the New England area.

Kyle candidly addresses his own opinion on this concept and how he plans on keeping his morality as his musical success grows.Kyle and his band are gearing up for their performance at Bourbon & Beyond, Kentucky’s biggest music festival, September 19-21, and then followed by their biggest show in MA yet, opening for Angel Olsen on 9/23 at the Cabot Theater in Beverly.Kyle also details the first and last time he ever recorded for a progressive metal band, the wild stories of how he met his bandmates, why cats are misunderstood, the best way to get tree sap off your hands, the best flavors of moonshine, and so much more.Follow Kyle Ray on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kyleray_music/Stream 'The Band of Robbers' on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/3kXc4teQCw4RJ5KeYCPQ8W?si=3d90331e675d4d83Stream 'The Band of Robbers' on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-band-of-robbers-single/1737566080Check out our studio, AOA Studios, and book a session or service with us: https://www.aoastudios.org/inquiriesbookingFollow our social media and blogsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/turntableteachers/?hl=enTik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@turntableteachersBlog - https://www.turntableteachers.com/blogShop - https://www.turntableteachers.com/shopSubscribe to our streaming services Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-turntable-teachers/id1448694925Google Play - https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Icujt6fhi2je7zzfxjkr7glcowe?t%3DThe_Turntable_Teachers%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/user-538618877Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4UJh499meoTP5wV2b2jrb0?si=EMaTjq9CR2-_zA6orKQNEQ

On this special edition episode, we take a brief detour from the Night School Series as we welcome legendary MA producer, engineer, and owner of Ugly Duck Studios, Dephrase, for a Christmas Special and our final episode of 2023!

He also shares his unique perspective on Christmas and the holiday season. Mike also takes him through the wringer on brand new segments, including a Christmas edition of Pop Quiz, holiday-themed Pass or Fail, and even Christmas trivia, which is our first ever graded segment.
