Johnnyswim - Dreaming Big for Family and Friendship Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

JOHNNYSWIM—Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano—translate the memories, moments, and milestones on their journey as a married couple into spirited, slick, and soulful anthems steeped in singer-songwriter tradition, yet amplified by alternative experimentation, rock energy, and pop ambition.
Building a fanbase through constant touring, 2013’s Heart Beats EP spawned “Don’t Let It Get You Down,” which clocked 17 million-plus Spotify streams. Their first full-length, Diamonds, arrived in 2014 as its single “Home” famously became the theme to HGTV hit Fixer Upper. The 2016 follow-up Georgica Pond yielded another fan favorite “First Try” as the duo sold out dates around the world.
Along the way, they garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone, NPR, The New York Times, Huffington Post, Nylon, Du Jour, and VH1 in addition to performing on The Today Show, CONAN, and more. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning powerhouse Malay [Frank Ocean, Sam Smith], the group’s 2019 third full-length, Moonlight [Britannia Row Recordings/BMG], shines a light on the strength of their bond, the scope of their musical palette, and spirit of their stories together.

Bob Goff - Dreaming Big for the World Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

There's never been a time where we're more mindful of the connections we share globally.
Way more than infecting each other with viruses through a pandemic; everything we do is interwoven, between our economies, policies, health practices, and values. Like the quarantined Italians serenading each other across the piazzas, we're all learning how to look out for each other's shared interests and get more involved in each other's welfare.
The pressing question then becomes: how do we be thoughtful and wise about the role we might play in redeeming the world?
