    Max Reichart: Trumpet, Synesthesia, and Building Something New

    In this episode, I’m joined by Max Reichart: trumpet player for Du Fromage and producer/mix engineer at Minnehaha Records. We talk about growing up in a musical family, choosing both band and choir, and what it’s like to be new to the local music scene while learning in real time. Max shares how synesthesia shapes the way he experiences music. We also talk about jazz jams, the impact of teachers and community, and Du Fromage playing the Nothing to Prove Summer Show at the Mess this past June!

    Dani Erin: She's Back!

    Season 4 kicks off imperfectly.. which feels exactly right. Dani Erin is back! This episode is actually our second time recording for this season (shoutout to tech difficulties), and I cut a good chunk of the beginning because… it was mostly nonsense.  We talk about bringing in a new drummer, slowly building a group that feels like family, and what it means to keep showing up even when things don’t go as planned. We get into background vocals and our relationship to each other, our ongoing creative work together, and how preparation and grounding show up before and after a show. This episode is about learning as you go, trusting the process, and letting things be messy without letting them stop you.
