My guest today is JD Foster. JD Foster is an international music producer and multi-instrumentalist who has received critical acclaim across genres. From his early Dwight Yokam days through to his collaborations with Marc Ribot, Patti Griffin, Calexico, Lucinda Williams, Green on Red, The Silos, Il Pan Del Diavolo, and many more, Foster continues to explore all avenues of music and all variety of artistry.

In this show, JD and I talk about how he began in the music business in Gainsville and ended up in Los Angeles in Dwight Yokam’s band. We also chat about his work as a record producer and songwriter. We touch upon the time he and I were roommates in Gainsville, Florida while recording a record with The Silos. Years back, I wrote about my experiences during these recording sessions, but this is the first time JD and I go on record together. Coincidently, it’s been exactly 30 years since those Silos sessions. At the beginning of this episode, JD and I decided to leave in some of our pre interview conversation, so you’ll hear us banter a bit before we get the meat and potatoes. It was great to reunite with JD and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed our conversation!
