Hello friends! Austin based, Americana/blues/shoegaze artist Rett Smith is my guest for episode 1423! Rett's latest album, A Weighted Remorse drops on all streaming services and vinyl on September 13th on Imperial/Republic Records. He'll be celebrating the release with a show in Austin at The Mohawk on Saturday, September 14th and then heading out on tour in Europe in October. Go to rettsmithmusic.com for music, tour dates, and more. We have a fantastic conversation about writing and recording A Weighted Remorse, mixing with Peter Labberton (St. Vincent), growing up a skier with his sights on going pro in New Mexico, leaving the skiing world after an injury, coming to music in his 20's, dealing with mental health issues, releasing four albums in four years, the magic of Lubbock, touring as a two-piece, and much more. I had a great time getting to know Rett. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
