James Apollo and the boys brutalize a Garth Brooks classic ‘Papa’s in the Pen’ as part of their off the grid “Live From American Ridge” session series. You can watch it below:
We asked James what was the story behind the American Ridge Lodge:
“The American Ridge Lodge once drew thousands each winter to the snowcapped Cascade Mountains. Its been vacant since the great depression. Last month, as the snow fell around us, my friends and I descended on this log masterpiece for a week of artistry and debauchery. For the first time in 80 years, the floors were once again pounded upon by long-wearied bootheals, and our cries echoed among the bats in the rafters. It was in short, a well-played hand, and we’ll be releasing the result in pieces over the next few months.”
If you enjoyed the video then check out the ‘Road Mix Tape’ that James did for us a year ago which I still love very much:
