Ep. 12 – MATT CALL: Recording and Producing Your Own Music
The Songwriting Podcast is a monthly music podcast where three hosts revel in the technical and creative aspects of the craft of songwriting, typically with a songwriter guest.
In Episode 12, Craig and Jason were honored to interview Matt Call, the frontman for the Asheville, North Carolina-based band, Lewis. Matt is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, percussionist — as well as several other musical titles. The primary theme for this episode is Recording and Producing Your Own Music. We also discuss evolving as a musician, and we listen to Matt’s song, “Straight Jacket,” in its entirety and hear about his method for writing it.

We also dip into the proverbial “mail bag” and address a listener voice mail and some e-mails:
— Natalie from Utah asks what makes a song sound sad or happy or sexy
— Ben asks about being a parent while still finding a sufficient amount of time for a recording session at home
— Keith wrote in with a suggestion for guitar players who experience finger / string noise
— A very nice comment from Tamlyn
— An incredible e-mail from Adam in Lebanon, Virginia, about an unlikely experience he had with Fred Ingram’s song “Waimoku III.”
After the listener feedback section, we delve into our famous Moving to Nashville segment, by “Nashville” Steve Rempis. In this month’s report, Steve gives us a Part 2 on Nashville’s open mic venues, including the Commodore Bar & Grille and the Douglas Corner Cafe. Nashville Steve also included this link for the listeners: A List of Nashville Open Mic Venues by NSAI. If you haven’t heard the Steve Rempis episode yet, be sure to listen to Episode 9 of The Songwriting Podcast. And you can find more from Nashville Steve at Steve Rempis.com.
Next we move into our new songwriter segment called Mesake’s Tunes. This month Mesake describes his audition on The X Factor, when he sang before the likes of Simon Cowell and Britney Spears.
And in this episode, we have two Send Your Song submissions:
“I’m Not Gonna Say Love” by Paul Tarle, and “Shine” (the Basement Session version) by Christopher Uryga:
