In this episode of Rough Pumpkins, Travis sits down with Hannah Williams, a mural artist based in Glens Falls, to talk about the deeper realities of living a creative life.

Hannah shares what it’s like to paint murals in public spaces, where the work doesn’t happen in isolation and the community becomes part of the process. The conversation explores creative identity, purpose, and what happens when art isn’t just something you do — it’s part of how you survive, connect, and make sense of the world.

They talk about staying rooted, showing up in real life, and why putting yourself out there still matters long after the paint dries.

This episode is for artists, musicians, and creatives who think about who they are without their work — and whether that’s even possible.

🎨 Topics include:

• Painting murals in public spaces
• Art as identity, not just a career
• Community connection and word-of-mouth
• Creative purpose and longevity
• What it means to truly “show up” as an artist

Travis sits down with Joe Mansman of Joe Mansman and The Midnight Revival Band for a laid-back conversation full of old memories, chaotic band stories, and the funny moments you only appreciate in hindsight.

They talk about the unglamorous side of band life — roommates, road mishaps, and the kind of situations that sound insane once you say them out loud. It’s a hangout episode that focuses less on achievements and more on what it’s actually like trying to make something creative work.
