Today we’re talking to Ian Jennings, Zachary Garren, and Ben Rosett of Strawberry Girls! Strawberry Girls makes and performs music in the progressive rock/post-hardcore space. All three band members are multi-instrumental and former members of other great bands (think Dance Gavin Dance, Eternity Forever, & The Trees).  This band is one of our favorites and we’re so excited to share this episode with all of you!

In this episode, we cover:

-What the songwriting process looks like for an instrumental band

-How they create albums when they all live in separate cities

-Each band member’s favorite (and least favorite) part of being in a band

-How they stay energized when playing long sets and tours

-Their super top-secret formula for coming up with album names

-Which band member is the most likely to be on the cover of Vogue

-And more! Including what we can expect from Strawberry Girls in 2021 (Hint: it’s something to look forward to!)

Each band member was kind enough to leave us with a Daily Shuffle recommendation, so definitely give these songs a listen: Spicy by Ty Dolla $ign, I’m Still Standing by Elton John, and On Sight by Free Nationals.
