Stacy Hilt is a founding member and bass player for the bands Coalesce and The Casket Lottery, both of which have had a remarkable impact on the music scene.

In this episode, we go over a myriad of topics about his life. We explore his introduction to music and his ventures into Krishna Core, how growing up in a lower socio-economic status affected his life and mental health, his time with the Casket Lottery for over 2 decades, and how it felt to decide to leave the band.

Most importantly, we talk about Stacy's own struggles with his mental health and being diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder later on in life. Stacy provides a candid look at how music has both been therapy and, at times, a hindrance to his own mental health.
