Hello friends! Singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Curtis McMurtry returns to the show for episode 1398! Curtis has just released the first of four forthcoming albums inspired by seasons (in this case, spring), The Pollen & The Rot, is available now on Bandcamp or wherever you stream music. You can see Curtis live this Sunday, 6/21 at Batch Craft Beer or next Friday, 6/26 at The Continental Club Gallery in Austin. Go to curtismcmurtrymusic.com for show dates, music, videos and more. We have a great conversation about growing up in Austin around a bunch of musicians and how that informed his life, being a third generation artist, writing and recording The Pollen & The Rot, exploring themes of restlessness, revolution and rebirth, the album's unique instrumentation, Bandcamp vs streaming, Musician's Local Union 433 find it HERE, and much more. I had a great time getting to know Curtis. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
