Red Line Roots Podcast Season 2 Episode 3: Prateek Poddar Red Line Roots

    • Music Commentary

I first met Prateek as so many folkish roots songwriters will tend to meet, at the Lizard Lounge Open Mic. I was judging and Prateek was performing/learning the ropes helping with running sound. His excitement and desire to be a part of something bigger than himself, a community, was palpable and he wore that genuine eagerness on his sleeve.

Flash forward 6 or so years and he has become one of the mainstays in the Boston and Cambridge/Somerville songwriter community. Get nods from the BMAs and New England Music Awards and playing all over town and beyond.

It was great to catch up with Prateek to talk about music, community and his path from open mic all star to releasing a host of projects under his name and his hopes for the future.
