Our guest this week is the Sandpoint-based singer, songwriter and visual artist Dario Ré.

Dario performs locally both under his own name and with the ensemble Heat Speak. His music is an eclectic and inventive mix of chamber folk, world fusion, indie pop and, of late, electronic.

We talk about that melange, including some recent singles and albums, as well as the growing divergence between his solo and band music. We also get into a frank discussion about his preferred mode of support, the patronage model.

Dario performs with Heat Speak at the Listening Room on March 28, and in June he has an exhibition at the Entropy Gallery in downtown Spokane.
