This week on The Rumors Are True, we welcome Erick Newbill from Fair and Subways on the Sun. Erick joins us for an in-depth conversation about his musical journey, from joining Aaron Sprinkle's acclaimed alternative rock band Fair to fronting the Seattle indie rock outfit Subways on the Sun. We dive into the creative process behind both bands, the evolution of his songwriting, balancing music with life, and the stories behind the records that have connected with fans over the years.

We also discuss the Pacific Northwest music scene, the making of The Best Worst-Case Scenario and Disappearing World with Fair, as well as Subways on the Sun's albums The Honeymoon Stagecoach and Capsize. Erick shares memories from the studio, lessons learned through decades of making music, and what continues to inspire him as an artist.

If you're a fan of melodic alternative rock, thoughtful songwriting, or the legacy of Seattle's independent music scene, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
