Beyond Recognition is an all-about-creativity-podcast hosted by Dan Volohov - a former music journalist (MRR, Louder Than War, Punk Globe, Boston Hassle...) and the CEO of Discipline PR.
We're getting back with Episode 4 featuring NICHOLAS BARKER. Drummer, composer, a virtuoso musician. Nick got his first recognition as the drummer of Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. Since the late 90's Barker's been the member of a large variety bands and projects including Lock Up, Brujeria, Shining, Barstol - to name just a few.
As some of you might know, Nick has been suffering quite an extreme health condition due to the kidney failure. So we'd set up this episode to discuss the life of a great artist AND get some attention to the GoFoundMe campaign that was set up to help Nick overcoming his issues - you can make a donation here: www.gofundme.com/f/nicholas-barker
