19. Ryan Green & Ryan Sulken (Harbour) Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

Cincinnati's greatest band Harbour joins us for our first ever chat with multiple band members! We got both Ryan's from Harbour today to share their experience with singing and drumming in the same band, while also gushing about how much we all miss each other. I've made a lot of memories with these fellas and I had to share their love and energy with you all! We debate whether my band or their band has a harder hitting drummer, the perils of bumping into a buddy from high school while working at Target, and how good of a band you can create when you put a soul singer with a hardcore drummer. Enjoy!

Songs Performed: Who I've Become / Love Lost

12. A.O. Gerber Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Our guest today is A.O. Gerber! Unreal songwriter and person! Olivia and I had such a fun, open chat about everything from the concept of fantasy, to the difficulty of finding yourself in LA, to the expectation of perfectionism in women and the ability to weave between a solo project and backing just about every band in Los Angeles. In this episode we go track by track and talk about her new record Another Place to Need which is now available everywhere through Hand in Hive/Copper Mouth Records. Enjoy!
