In this episode, Stephanie talks to musician Aaron Williams (founder of the Homegrown Arts & Music Festival) about his career, early inspirations, pre-show attitudes, and so much more. Aaron has been a mainstay in the Chicago original scene for so long, and has many feelings and strategies that he wishes younger musicians would follow in order to keep the scene alive.

This conversation also happened on Cinco de Mayo, so everyone in the green room that day was enjoying neighborhood music drifting into the window...maybe you’ll hear some clips, too!
