Episode 684: Samuel Herring (Future Islands, Hemlock Ernst)

Plenty of musicians talk about 'leaving it all on the stage,' but few have offered as demonstrable an example as Samuel Herring. His live performance is a conduit for unbridled emotion, capturing mainstream attention as the frontman for Future Islands. As Hemlock Ernst, Herring's lyrics offer insight into life experiences, no better exemplified than on the hip-hop group's latest, Studying Absence. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 682: Mike Campbell (Dirty Knobs, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

Tom Petty's unexpected death in October 2017 effectively marked the end of the Heartbreakers. The band reunited a handful of times to pay tribute to the late singer, but its members have otherwise used the unfortunate opportunity to explore life beyond its confines. For Mike Campbell, the event marked the beginnings of a second career. His guitar playing and songwriter were foundational to the Heartbreakers' massive success, and he'd cowritten with Don Henley and Stevie Nicks, including the Billboard topping "Boys of Summer." But now it's his name on the band, performing as Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. This June, the group released Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits, its third full-length since 2020. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 681: Kishi Bashi

Released at the end of August, Kantos is a “party album about the possible end of humanity as we know it.” A few months later, that possibility seems ever more probable. A one-time resident of both New York City and Athens, GA, Kaoru Dill-Ishibashi now spends his days in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Central California, heading over Highway 17 to surf when not making music. The singer and multi-instrumentalist is an industry veteran, fronting Brooklyn indie band Jupiter One and spending time as a member of Elephant 6 offshoot, Of Montreal. The Berklee grad has also performed with a wide range of fellow musicians, including Regina Spektor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thoughtful, fascinating interviews

2023/10/16

Brian’s interviews with a wide range of creative people (musicians, writers, comedians, comic book artists, and more) are all illuminating and entertaining. A seasoned journalist, he is especially good at coaxing prickly subjects out of their shells. Highly recommended if you like, well, just about anything.
Get this creative juices flowing

Brian asks insightful questions to get his guests to open up about their creative process. His podcast has inspired me to tap into my own artistic pursuits. Give it a listen!
