Hi, I'm Nora Jones, and today I'm playing along with Dave Grohl.

I'm just playing along with you.

I'm just playing along with you.

Hey there, I'm Nora.

With me, as always, is Sarah Oda. Hello, hello. Welcome to the show. Welcome. How are you doing? I'm good. We're on FaceTime. Yeah, this is a first for us. It's the first separated intro. I feel together, though. Yes, I feel you. Okay, so today we had the incredible honor of hosting a guest artist that I know for me, and I think for both of us, was completely a dream come true.

And by host, I mean, we went to his studio.

Yes, he hosted us, really.

And ate his Dunkin' Donuts.

But our guest today is the incomparable singer-songwriter, storyteller, extraordinaire, frontman of the foo fighters, and drummer of Nirvana, consummate artists in every sense of the word, and just badass human all around.

Dave Grohl. We had so much fun hanging around. Dave Grohl.

We had so much fun hanging out.

I have not really got to hang with Dave in many, many years.

We recorded together about 20 years ago for one of his albums,

and that was the first time I met him.

We've hung over the years many times,

and we have a shared manager, John Silva, who we talk about a little bit in this episode.

We also talk about songwriting and a lot of music nerd stuff.

Yeah, as like kids of the 90s growing up with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, it's hard to imagine not being influenced by him and these bands and these songs are just sort of the soundtrack to so much of my life.

Like from back then through now. In fact, they just released their latest studio album earlier this year called But Here We Are, and You've Got to Check It Out.

It's really beautiful. And we caught up with Dave around, I think it was the same week they released the first song from this album.

So it's a little bit backdated. But yeah, we had a great time hanging, talking, playing music. He graced me with

his drumming on one song. So I hope you really enjoy this episode. We had so much fun hanging.
