On this weeks episode of Middle Class Rock Star, I sit down with Colorado-based bassist, songwriter, and producer Ace Engfer, who just released his new solo album, Time Drifts Away (June 6).

Ace has spent years holding down the low end in the Colorado music scene as a longtime member of Grant Farm, and touring with acts like Madeline Hawthorne (Montana) and Kind-Hearted Strangers (Nashville). But in this episode, we go beyond the stage.

We talk about:

• Ace’s journey with sobriety, and how it’s shaped his creativity and career

• His approach to writing great charts and being a reliable sideperson

• Navigating the music industry and release strategies in a streaming era

• What exactly is Cosmic Americana?
