Our guest this episode is Pete Nordstrom who is the bassist of Seattle band Stag, co-organizer (along with his wife Brandy) of SMooCH (Seattle Musician's for Children's Hospital) and who happens to have started his career in the women's shoes stockroom at the department store that bears his own family name (not a coincidence). We had a great time talking through tons of stuff including his early aspirations of becoming a NBA player, Seattle Supersonics politics, band life, and how he and Brandy came to put SMooCH together. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Please do go support SMooCH and be sure to catch the entire benefit program that will stream on KEXP's YouTube Channel through the end of December '20.
