About this episode

Kurt Deimer discusses his album 'A Grog Is Born', his music career, and his alter ego in this episode.

In this episode of Meet Me For Coffee Podcast , I sit down with Kurt Deimer to talk about his upcoming album A Grog Is Born , the evolution of his music career, and the rise of his larger-than-life alter ego: The Grog . Kurt opens up about returning to music after years away, retraining his voice, and building a sound that blends hard rock, cinematic storytelling, and horror-inspired themes. We also dive into his acting career, including appearances in Halloween (2018 film) and the upcoming horror film Scared to Death , where The Grog fully comes to life. The conversation also covers working with legendary musicians like Geoff Tate and Phil X, touring with major rock acts, and how Kurt is creating an entire universe that connects his music, films, and live performances together. If you’re into rock music, horror culture, reinvention stories, and larger-than-life personalities — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
