No Simple Road

Artist Spotlight - Kendall Street Company


Listen Later

We are back with another Artist Spotlight with Louis Smith & Ryan Wood of Kendall Street Company!

Virginia's Kendall Street Company are no strnagers to having a wild time. The genre-fluid, eclectic rock ensemble has drawn varied comparisons to the dynamic jams of Umphrey's McGee and Widespread Panic, songwriting prowess of John Prine, experimental psychedelia of Pink Floyd, progressive jazz-infused rock of Frank Zappa, and off-color humor of Ween and They Might Be Giants. Including elements of crowd participation, off-the-cuff comedic bits, haphazard choreography, musical improvisation, and surprise musical guests, each Kendall Street Company concert is a n experience unlike any other. You'll laugh, you'll cry. Just remember to stay hydrated.

We sit down with Louis and Ryan for a chat about:

  • creating the new album 'Separation 95' and what life has been like for them since creating this new work.
  • Memories of shows where they left feeling on top of the world and also laid flat.
  • If it's possible to know that you killed it onstage or not, in the moment.
  • Some antics from Hulaween this year.
  • How Grateful Dead fans can be persnickety.
  • The creation process behind some of their amazing videos.
  • If Becka's Dad is an actual person or not.
  • Riding the line between scary and comforting.
  • ... and so much more.
