Show notes

This Week on Late For Load In:
We’re joined by the legendary Andrew Tkaczyk — part-time amateur comedian, full-time one-legged drummer for The Ghost Inside.

Andrew shares stories from his early days in Charlotte, Michigan, where he and friends built a local music scene that gave birth to For The Fallen Dreams—and how a random Myspace message from Rise Records changed everything.

We also dive deep into The Ghost Inside’s tragic bus accident, the long road to recovery, and what it’s like navigating life (and the stage) after a life-altering trauma. This one’s a raw, honest, and hilarious ride you don’t want to miss.
