Connecting Veterans Through Music
Free guitar instruction, instruments, and a community built around veterans helping veterans discover the power of music.
Music has a way of taking us back—to a person, a place, a moment, or an entire chapter of our lives. Battle Tracks: Stories Behind the Music, hosted by veteran broadcaster and Veterans Guitar Alliance co-founder Tom Lamog, is a podcast built around those connections. Each episode invites a veteran to share the songs and musical experiences that have stayed with them along the way—and the stories behind them.
In the August 20, 2026, episode of The Daily Buzz , hosts Martha Aguilera and Rick Garcia welcome Tom Lamog from the Veterans Guitar Alliance to discuss the organization's mission of supporting veterans through the power of music.
In this episode of SCVTV’s Community Corner, co-hosts Dave Caldwell and Carrie Lujan chat with co-founders of the new Santa Clarita Veterans Guitar Alliance Bruce Geiger and Tom Lamog. The two talk about the its core mission of offering the healing power of music to local heroes.
