CASSIDI is (in my opinion) an unapologetic pop artist from Utica, NY. Yes, you read that right! Utica! I thought that was the neatest thing. It turns out she comes from a long line of amazing artists from the area, and being such a force in a lower key city has its benefits - which is one of the main things we talk about on this pod, since I'm from Binghamton, NY (which is a similar existence...and also not far away). Anyhow, enjoy this lovely convo.

Ep. 77 - "Everything You Need's In Your Own Backyard" w/ Matt Ebbers

Matt is one of those people that you feel so immediately friendly and close to even though you barely know the person or have barely hung out. I say that because that's pretty much our situation. We met first in 2018 when he was interviewing me ahead of my show on tour in Binghamton, NY (my hometown) and it was interesting to know that there was someone out there that was interested in this uncharacteristic show happening in the area. Since then, I've kept tabs on him and have been really happy to see him forging a musical path up there and keeping it alive and innovative since I left. Makes me wanna go back! We talk about Binghamton and all things music for an hour here. Hope ya dig it.

Ep. 79 - Dissecting Fantastic Wrist (w/ Niagara Moon)

Well well well. The Wrist is finally here...or should I say, it's finally on streaming. Technically it's been around for like 5 months already and if you REALLY wanted to listen to it, you could've. NONETHELESS. To celebrate the more 'worldwide' release of the record, I wanted to get a real, tough-as-nails '60 minutes' style interview to hash out all the grittiness of it. How does one do that? You intentionally hire a hard-hitting interviewer to wrench the answers out of you like a police interrogation. Did I do that? Not really. I hired the very genial Thomas Erwin of Niagara Moon to do it, knowing he'd be kind and interesting in his engaging with me. AND HE WAS! So, enjoy what I like to call 'the definitive Fantastic Wrist interview'...
