    FAI Field Report 6: Mark Erelli

    FAI Field Report 6: Mark Erelli

    My final interview from the dance is Mr. Mark Erelli. What a pleasure to get a chance to talk to him after being a fan of his for so many years. Mark (and Emily) and I have met many times through The Listening Room in Hastings, but this was the first time I had the chance to talk songs. Listen in, hear his great song, "The Hitter," and be sure to check out the rest of his catalog after the show. In light of recent events, I recommend his song, "By Degrees" if you haven't heard it yet. Find out more and where he's playing by checking out his website, www.markerelli.com

Woefully late to the party

I just started listening to this show after a friend recommended it and I’m SO HOOKED. Emily and Hope make you feel like you’re hanging out with friends, and that songwriting is something “you too can do!” I started from the first episode and now I’m probably 40 episodes in. I find myself wanting to write songs to prompts and submit songs for their listener submission episodes, but am bummed this show is no longer happening.

I hope one day they make a glorious return to the show. Until then, I am wistfully blasting through episode after episode, and pretending the end isn’t coming. Fantastic podcast.

Please come back, the world needs you

Podcasts are usually a hard sell for me, but this one is amazing. Feels like you’re hanging out with friends, great songs, and a learning experience for any creative, not just us songwriters!

Like fine wine…

They just get better all the time! You’ll want to listen to each week for song writing basics, tips and tricks with engaging bonus banter. These women need their own SiriusXM show!
