"Johanna Samuels is an LA-via-NYC songwriter whose recently-released debut full length, Excelsior!, marks the emergence of a  strong voice in the indie folk/pop realm, with timeless melodies delivering an impressive warmth and depth. Here, Johanna is joined by Adam Brisbin on guitar (as well as engineering/mixing duties), for a performance shot by Ale Alviar and edited by Aaron Curry, and she joins us for a conversation about the new record, predicting the future thru song, and what she has coming up.
