Just Chill with Oliver George #51 - Kellie Nowell

On this date 25 years ago, Sublime performed for the last time ever at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California. The following morning, the world tragically lost the band's innovative and soulful frontman Bradley Nowell to a heroin overdose. Join Oliver as he chills with Brad's younger sister Kellie, who in recent years has been working tirelessly as the executive director of the The Nowell Family Foundation! Providing addiction recovery services to musicians, the foundation is currently raising funds to open an opioid recovery facility in Brad's memory called 'Bradley's House'! Please donate if you can!!

This episode is a dream come true for Oliver, who has been a Sublime fanatic since his youth. Acquaintances for over a decade, Oliver and Kellie finally have a real hangout and become fast friends! Things start off with talk about the foundation and all of the fantastic things it has spawned. Including the recent, dynamite tribute album titled 'The House That Bradley Built'! Featuring a ton of amazing artists, the proceeds will go towards all of the foundation's spectacular efforts! Kellie then discusses the 'Bradley's House' podcast, which she co-hosts and is a must-hear for any Sublime fan!

Kellie shares fantastic stories about Bradley, Lou Dog, and Sublime, leaving Oliver completely elated in the process. She also expresses how profoundly difficult it was to lose her brother to addiction, and how her work with the foundation has helped her in processing that grief. Kellie then answers some of Oliver's burning questions, as well as some fan inquiries from Reddit!
