Such an honor to have Tennesseean, Briston Maroney with us this week! Briston is an unbelievable songwriter with a super powerful voice, both literally and with his writing. But that doesn't mean we don't get goofy in this episode. We discuss everything from our love for sports films (even though we aren't athletes) to his comedic side project, Briston Maroney But Different. We go on to share a dirty little secret about Wilco, what it's like to collaborate freely and openly, and the fear of entering a VR-based universe. When we finally get serious we talk about the silver lining in this quarantine, his experience having toured for 8 months of last year, and going viral on TikTok. Lastly, we talk about his brief stint on American Idol when he was a teen, signing to Atlantic Records and the pitfalls of wearing your own merch. Enjoy!
