    ep46 Jacob Brodovsky is serious

    Jacob Brodovsky uncovers his journey as a singer-songwriter from Winnipeg’s rich music community while discussing his highly anticipated new album, Tell the Kids We Tried. We dive into the grit of indie songwriting, the creative liberation of tracking live to tape, and the power of local music networks. From navigating imposter syndrome to balancing family life and finding his authentic voice, this conversation is an honest look at building a sustainable creative life in today's music industry. ep46 Jacob Brodovsky is serious released May 28, 2026 1:31:47 Key Highlights: The Power of Creative Accountability (The "Song Every Week Club"): Jacob highlights how a strict, high-accountability weekly writing circle in Winnipeg forces creators to bypass the ego and tap into a raw stream of consciousness. Navigating Toxic Industry Pressures vs. Authentic Balance: The discussion tackles the "toxic b******t" narrative that artists must sacrifice everything or quit their day jobs to be taken seriously. Jacob and Glen advocate for a healthier, realistic approach to balancing real life while still making award-winning art. The Vulnerability of "Brutal" Editing: Jacob opens up about his relationship with mentor John K. Samson (The Weakerthans), who agreed to edit his first record on the condition that he could be "brutal" with a red pen. It’s a great lesson for all creatives on checking your ego at the door and treating songwriting as a long-term process of refinement. Spontaneity Over Perfection (Recording Live to Tape): Moving away from an album that was labored over for years, Jacob’s new record was arranged in a room in three hours and tracked live to tape. This highlight celebrates the magic of capturing spontaneous, flawed, and honest musical moments that can't be easily fixed in post-production. Community as the Ultimate Antidote: When unexpected professional and personal transitions hit Jacob, the local creative scene "scooped up" his family with gigs and immense support. This highlights the beautiful, reciprocal nature of a healthy music ecosystem—taking space when it's your turn to promote, and pumping everyone else's tires when it's not. http://www.jacobbrodovsky.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jacobbrodovsky https://www.youtube.com/@jacobbrodovsky hosts: Glen Erickson, Alexi Erickson AFE website: https://www.almostfamousenough.com AFE instagram: https://www.instagram.com/almostfamousenough AFE Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1o1PRD2X0i3Otmpn8vi2zP?si=1ece497360564480 Almost Famous Enough is a series of conversations centered around the music industry, pulling back the veil on what it really means to “make it”.

    ep45 Ken Yates has range

    Canadian singer-songwriter Ken Yates returns to discuss fatherhood, touring logistics, and his signature sonic evolution. We dive into how he scaled back to a live trio format , his collaborative work with producers Jim Bryson and Daniel Ledwell, and how a late bloomer to indie-folk songwriting defined his unique guitar tunings and raw vocal identity. From DIY house concerts to upcoming Massey Hall performances with Kathleen Edwards , this conversation explores what it really means to cultivate a dedicated, word-of-mouth audience in the modern music industry. ep45 Ken Yates has range  released May 21, 2026  1:31:46 Key Moments The Unexpected Trio Transformation:  Ken explains how a "logistical nightmare" of using six different regional backing bands across the country forced him to strip his live sound down to a trio format, helping him discover a live sound that he now prefers over solo performances. The Nashville Vocal Accident:  As a self-proclaimed "late bloomer" who went to Berklee for guitar rather than songwriting, Ken reveals he originally planned to stay behind the scenes writing for other artists in the Nashville style. He only sang his own song for the first time because his lead vocalist fell sick before a performance, sparking his career as a frontman. Embracing Creative Limitations:  In a highly candid moment, Ken admits he still doesn't consider himself a traditional singer and doesn't even sing around the house or in the car. He explains how having a limited vocal range actually acts as a creative superpower, forcing him to be much more inventive with his melodies. The "Traveling Salesman" Burnout:  Ken reflects on the exhausting pre-COVID era of driving his Honda Civic to DIY house concerts and carrying a vintage briefcase of merchandise. While financially positive, he realized playing living rooms wasn't building a sustainable, dedicated audience, prompting a massive shift in his career direction. Redefining Success Outside of Fame:  Ken shares how "failing" to reach the mainstream metrics of fame and fortune for over a decade ultimately set him free. He reached a peaceful realization that even if his career never grew past its current size, he would still happily choose to make records because it fulfills him creatively and financially. Dismantling the Tortured Artist Trope:  The conversation shifts to how fatherhood and aging have softened Ken's perspective. He notes that he has actively stepped away from trying to be a "tortured artist" all the time, allowing himself to recognize when he is genuinely feeling good and simply enjoying being a dad. https://www.kenyates.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kenyatesmusic/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqkNO32U_cF0bQDmb79-PoQ hosts: Glen Erickson, Alexi Erickson AFE website: https://www.almostfamousenough.com AFE instagram: https://www.instagram.com/almostfamousenough AFE Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1o1PRD2X0i3Otmpn8vi2zP?si=1ece497360564480 Almost Famous Enough is a series of conversations centered around the music industry, pulling back the veil on what it really means to “make it”.
