A few weeks prior to SWTF, I had a chance to speak with Greg Anderson about his many musical projects. We discussed his upcoming collaboration with Scott Walker, jazz records, some hilarious Spinal Tap moments, and more.

Before kicking off his tour with Gary Numan, I spoke with Jonathan Bates of Big Black Delta on how synesthesia plays a role in his song writing and stage production, his new music videos, and more.

I had the honor of speaking with the legendary King of Surf Guitar and Father of Heavy Metal, Dick Dale, before his trip to Tucson. What was supposed to be a fifteen minute phone interview turned in the most enlightening hour long conversation. I had several questions lined up and was so nervously trying to figure out how to go about asking them, but I realized I had to just let go of any format and listen to his stories. He is an incredibly humble man with amazing stories and a beautiful outlook on life. In this interview, he sheds light on the music industry, health, happiness, and much more.

Before his show at the Rialto Theater in Tucson, José González and I had an in-depth conversation about his new album Vestiges and Claws. He delved into the themes of the album, influences from evolutionary biology to Brazilian artists, and the notion of being carried away by music.
