    Feeding the Senses Unsensored - Episode 144 - Sean Cunningham - Musician, Singer, Songwriter

    Sean Cunningham has never been afraid to evolve. Before reinventing himself with Whatever That Is — a wildly adventurous, self-produced solo album that blurs the boundaries between alternative, modern pop, indie rock, and lyric-driven Americana — the songwriter spent more than a decade in constant motion, releasing music with several different projects. There was Atlas, the career-launching band that took Cunningham all the way to New Zealand, where the group's chart-topping single "Crawl" set a new record for the longest-running Number 1 hit in Kiwi history. There was also The Cunning, the Led Zeppelin-influenced rock band that he formed after relocating to Nashville. All of that momentum leads Cunningham to his full-length solo debut, Whatever That Is, whose songs are every bit as diverse as the musician who created them. From acoustic tracks like "No Strings" to lushly layered anthems like "Habit," Whatever That Is unfolds like a rallying cry from a musical lifer who, having already experienced overnight success during the infancy of his career, remains willing to rebuild, reimagine, and rediscover himself over and over again. https://www.instagram.com/seanthecunning/ https://www.facebook.com/SeanTheCunning/ https://www.youtube.com/@seancunninghammusic Theme song: “Hollywood Faded’ by Luna Halo @treymitchellphotography  @feeding_the_senses_unsensored facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848 www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotography ftsunashville@gmail.com

    Feeding the Senses Unsensored - Episode 143 - Brontë Fall - Singer, Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist

    Teri Bracken’s career as Brontë Fall began almost accidentally. The singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs had always been a music obsessive, dreaming of forming her own bands and playing on stages. While working as the “door girl” at an indie music venue in Chicago, a chance opportunity allowed her to book her first gig as an artist. She quickly came up with a band name (honoring her favorite writers, the Brontë sisters), compiled all the original songs she had, and never, ever looked back. Bracken’s road to acclaimed songwriter began in childhood, when she picked up piano at age 7. Classical violin lessons soon followed, and eventually she was tapped as the singer/violinist in a college rock band with a group of nineties rock loving frat boys. After leaving the guys, she further pursued her passion for violin playing at Berklee, which is where she fell in love with songwriting once and for all. Bracken eventually made her way to Nashville—a dream come true considering it is a songwriter’s mecca. Teri Bracken’s new album as Brontë Fall, Not Done Yet is about resolve and spirit and ignoring anything in the way of dreaming — even yourself. Bracken wrestles with herself throughout the album. She almost quits, she pulls herself back; she laughs at those who told her to get a more sustainable career; she curses herself for not getting a more sustainable career. The album, defiant and beautiful and mournful and triumphant, is a chronicle of a life lived exactly as Bracken wants, compromising to no one in her quest to continue building a budding and supportive scene for alt-Americana around the country. https://www.brontefall.com/ https://linktr.ee/brontefall?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4CGNhbGxzaXRlAjE1AAGnDw6Xr5SZcvarPqUSegemPi_U49RAUn0rrULQYte9wwxe-sJ5Wj_5fRz1ceA_aem_i0Syg85DVncZ8lqfU72o2w Theme song: “Hollywood Faded’ by Luna Halo @treymitchellphotography  @feeding_the_senses_unsensored facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848 www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotography ftsunashville@gmail.com
