    In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the incredibly talented Carolyn Kendrick—singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and all-around creative powerhouse. We dive into her musical journey and influences and get the inside scoop on her upcoming album, Each Machine. Carolyn and I chat about how technology and AI are shaping the music industry, the essential role rhythm plays in songwriting, and the unique collaborative spirit of the fiddling community.  She also opens up about her creative process, the concept behind her new album, and her experiences at Berklee’s American Roots program. This conversation is a deep dive into where traditional meets modern and how community shapes the arts. Carolyn Kendrick is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, fiddler, guitarist, and producer. After many happy years on the road as a side musician, Kendrick has blossomed as a solo artist since issuing her debut EP, Tear Things Apart, in 2020. Heralded as “hauntingly lovely” (Paste Magazine), you won’t want to miss a Carolyn Kendrick live performance. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Kendrick crisscrossed the country with her former duo project, The Page Turners. She has shared the stage with beloved artists such as Darol Anger, Bruce Molsky, Aoife O’Donovan, Kaia Kater, Hannah Read, Margo Price, The Clements Brothers, and Jacksonport.

These songs are modern, electric re-imaginings of hymns, murder ballads, pagan chanting, and even songs of devil-worship. The first single, The Devil’s Nine Questions, is available for pre-order now and will be released October 1st, 2024.  The full album, both physical + digital copies, as well as an accompanying zine of behind-the scenes photography and essays, will be released 12.6.24 on High Occulture Records.

    Brad Williams (with Skyler Williams) - Part 2

    In the second installment of a three-part episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with my son, Skyler, for a heartfelt and meaningful conversation about our shared musical journeys. In this episode, I dive into my gap year after high school, during which I taught drum lines and percussion ensembles. I talk about the challenges I faced as a teacher and how they shaped my understanding of communication and connection. From there, I reflect on my time at Belmont University, where I studied classical and commercial music. One standout memory from those days was playing John Cage's Third Construction and the invaluable lessons that came with it. I also share stories from my time playing gigs on a cruise ship, a job that pushed me in ways I hadn't expected. It was demanding, but it prepared me for the next phase of my musical journey—transitioning to bass guitar. That shift opened up new opportunities and gave me a different perspective on music. I talk about how playing bass connected me with some incredible musicians and the importance of locking in with great drummers to really understand rhythm and groove. Throughout the episode, I reflect on my experiences playing alongside musicians like Tommy Dodd and Scott Meeder. Each one left a mark on my career, teaching me lessons I carry with me to this day. I also talk about the importance of chemistry on stage and how those connections often extend beyond the music. Wrapping it all up, I share my gratitude for the opportunities I’ve had and the people I’ve met along the way. Thank you for tuning in!
