A Talk in the Attic

**WATCH ON YOUTUBE** ... When author Christopher Tallon's first novel, SWITCHERS, hits the shelves next month, it will feature a book cover design by host Kirk Ross. Excerpted from a full interview on Chris's podcast "Creative Ops", the duo discusses the creative process, consent in nature, and the risks of using words that end in "phile". Today's featured song is called "Big Sale Improv", inspired by a doozy of a trip to the pot shop.

**WATCH ON YOUTUBE**    Welcome back to A Talk in the Attic  as we open Season 3 with the multi-talented Jair Driesenga. Along with an in-studio interview and live set, this episode follows Jair through a week in the life of the creative, musical free spirit. Jair's a founding member of Brother Adams, a psychedelic-rock-meets-all-other-genres project that's been around since 2013. When COVID hit, Jair began a self-titled solo project in order to keep his musical aspirations and mental health at bay. Since then, he's also built an amazing scene by way of the Park Theatre Open Mic, which goes down every Tuesday night in Holland, Michigan.

Footage included in this installment: Jair at Mulligan's Pub; Jair at Park Theatre Open Mic; Jair in the Attic; and snippets from a few music videos from his various projects. Special thanks to PTOM performers Kris Paul, Jay Benz, Dirk William, Sex Muscle, Rijirirahi, and The Junky Swinger.
