    Wilder Woods

    When Bear Rinehart (NEEDTOBREATHE) initially conceived solo project Wilder Woods, its scale was unclear. “I definitely didn’t have a major label in mind...I didn’t have a tour in mind.” Instead, it started purely as “exploration,” as “scratching the itch.” Here, we explore in great detail how those initial desires grew into both a thrilling, self-titled debut album, along with new sonic ground for the celebrated songwriter. We hit on Rinehart’s relationship with producer Gabe Simon, we discover how the song “Sure Ain’t” helped establish the Wilder Wood sound, and we unveil all the most critical creative moments for the LP, as told by those intimately involved. After the episode, listen to Wilder Woods’ debut album. Interviews: Bear Rinehart, Gabe Simon (Producer), David Leonard.

    Matt Maeson

    Matt Maeson’s very first performance was anything but traditional. A Chick-fil-A open mic...which he took first place in...which netted him the restaurant's food for a year. “That went away in about three months because all my friends were poor, and they would just jack the coupons.” Believe it or not, but that amusing bit of history might be the most conventional part of Maeson’s beginnings, detailed here by the artist. Following his captivating origin story, you’ll then find yourself deep within the makings of his debut full length album, “Bank On The Funeral.” From joining up with frequent producer James Flannigan, to getting the inside scoop on tracks like “Beggar’s Song” (written at SXSW at a particularly rocky moment), “Cringe” (a breakthrough moment for the album’s production style), and “Feel Good” (first conceived in 2011), it’s an intimate look into this achievement, featuring Maeson and those creatively closest to him. Interviews: Matt Maeson, Derek Davies (Neon Gold), James Flannigan (Producer).

    Shooter Jennings

    The spark. The secret.  When Shooter Jennings talked to us about the process behind a new record, he highlighted these two inspiration points, one a bit more concealed than the other. “The spark is the idea...when it happens, then I get excited and I have an overall vision for an album. And then the secret is something that I usually never reveal...it's kind of like when an actor has a backstory they made up for a character.” Here, we get insight on the motivations attached to “Shooter,” the ambitious country artist’s 2018 full length record. Jennings also talks about his move to Elektra (along with re-entering that “mainstream ring”), how he decided on the album title being his first name (plus the humor associated with his music), and much more. Listen to “Shooter” now. Interviews: Shooter Jennings, Aaron Raitiere (Songwriter).

    HONNE

    The genre-defying duo joins to discuss their full length album, “Love Me / Love Me Not.” Knowing they had “more to offer” in the sophomore LP, HONNE set off on a journey full of experimentation, increased collaboration, and embracing their two-sided band mantra. It’s all tracked here through intimate details on many of the songs, including which one started on a couch with Garageband.  Interviews: James Hatcher (HONNE), Andy Clutterbuck (HONNE), Jordan Whitmore (Atlantic Records), Georgia Barnes (Songwriter), Reuben James (Songwriter).

    The Swedish songwriter joins to discuss her 2018 EP, “Sorry For Writing All The Songs About You.” The bold concept behind the release — it details the peaks and valleys of a single relationship — is passionately detailed, including the empowering twist housed within standout “I’m Not Her.”  And to fully uncover this unique and thrilling pop expression, you’ll also come to understand her creative partnership with Cassandra Ströberg, you’ll discover how she used Pinterest for musical inspiration, and you’ll hear about her winding path to Big Beat Records (highlighted by the origin story behind KREAM collaboration “Taped Up Heart”). Interviews: Clara Hagman, Gina Tucci (Big Beat Records), Cassandra Ströberg (Songwriter, Manager), Mugisho Nhonzi (Producer).
