I’m hanging with bassist Zac Watson. We got to talk about a few things we share in common like how we both were heavily influenced by progressive rock bands in our early 20s and eventually came around to playing in a way that served the song instead of our egos.

We talk about the shame that he felt as a musician because having a day job seemed like a sign that he wasn’t good enough. Zac sees no shame in the day job game these days because he sees it allows him to make the music he really wants to make.

We cover a lot of ground in these 80 minutes talking about how Australia’s lockdown policy differs from ours in the States and how important it was to shift the way we both used social media to support our mental health. One other thing Zac touches on that I loved is how essential it is to focus in on who your audience is and making sure they are your focus.

So my beautiful audience, please allow me to introduce you to Zac Watson.
