We had a very insightful chatwith John Mailander about working with the legendary Bruce Hornsby, the hardest part about being a musician, and the practice of being receptive to song ideas (and so much more!) His latest release “Let the World In” is availableeverywhere!         

Originally assembled for the live debut of John’s 2019 album Forecast, the group adopted the name for a series of residency shows in Nashville. John Mailander’s Forecast has since developed a dedicated following through their adventurous improvisations, singular collaborations, and genre-bending, joyful musical explorations.       

  Forecast is John Mailander on fiddle, keys, and electronics; Ethan Jodziewicz on upright and fretless electric bass; Chris Lippincott on steel guitars, keys, and electronics; Mark Raudabaugh on drums and percussion; Jake Stargel on acoustic guitar; and David Williford on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet. 

 Let The World In is the spiritual third in a trilogy of "Forecast" records and the second “true” album as a band since 2021’s Look Closer, which was recorded during the pandemic.
