Recorded January 2024 – Released July 2025 due to technical delays

This episode was recorded way back in January, but thanks to some frustrating technical issues, it’s just now seeing the light of day. Trust me—it was worth the wait.

In this episode of Scene Support, I sit down with the one and only Eva "McSwagger"—beloved bartender at Snapper Magee’s, the legendary Kingston dive bar that’s been a cornerstone of the Hudson Valley punk scene for over a decade. From wild mosh pits with dudes in suits and teddy bears to the science of serving drinks during a loud-as-hell hardcore set, Eva shares what it’s like behind the bar when the scene comes alive.

They talk about bringing live music back to Snappers after the pandemic, what makes punk shows more chill than Friday night bros, the mystery of toilets that keep getting ripped out, and how a bartender can change a person’s whole life trajectory. (Spoiler: Eva helped convinced me I'd like living in the Hudson Valley)

Whether you're a show-going regular, a band looking for a venue, or just love weird bar stories and punk rock chaos, this one’s for you.
