MC Taylor from Hiss Golden Messenger is here to discuss life in Durham, North Carolina and the time he spent in San Francisco, California, the Grateful Dead and Dead Kennedys, why he was so fascinated by the American South, he decided to move there 20 years ago, his love for the Band and the motifs in their music, if his academic background in American studies, folklore, and history offers him much perspective on the current state and future path of his country, his decision to work with Chrysalis Records and what may have inspired any new songs he may have written and recorded for a new Hiss album, how travel and touring can inspire him as an artist, his Winterruption 2026 dates in Edmonton and Winnipeg, other future plans, and much more.
