Strap in as we take you on a ferry ride, venturing deep into the woods to meet with Jerry Whitlow, a familiar face from the early 80s Seattle music scene and a close friend of Owen Wright. As Owen's roommate during his glam metal band days, Jerry's mechanical skills laid the tracks for his transformation from fast cars to his role as a respected horse breeder and trainer. Their story began at "Seattle Film Works," where the seeds of future music legends were sown—Mark Arm and Kim Thayil among them. Renowned for epic house parties that united alternative rock and grunge pioneers, Jerry's path has led him to the creation of "Turtlehorse Ranch" alongside his wife, Carrie Guthrie-Whitlow. Join us for the season finale, where Owen and Jerry uncover their journey through Seattle's vibrant music scene.
