March 10, 2020 Portrait : The Garden
As luck would have it this conversation was had in the gap between touring and a new record for The Garden. Relaxed and near silly at times the OC twins share about peanut butter, punk rock, fashion by accident and more with Rain and Summer. Do yourselves a favor and catch them on tour/listen to their new single “clench to stay awake” on Spotify. Fletcher and Wyatt are true originals.

March 03, 2020 Business portrait: Lisa Roth
Lisa Roth may have been uncertain of what she wanted to be when she grew up- but, her willingness to show up helped to build her incredible success! The ever humble dancer turned nutritionist turned visionary behind the rockabye baby album franchise shows us how simple people skills can pave the way toward entrepreneurship. She candidly opens up about her journey, her artist family and how it’s important to just show up, put one foot in front of the other and JUMP! Pun intended.

February 18, 2020 Two for Tuesday: Devotchka & Frank Locrasto
Sometimes there’s a plan A, no plan B, and miraculously plan A works! Such is the case with Nick’s story, part 1 of this “Two for Tuesday” episode. We think it should be called “advice for the left-of-center artist” cause it's chock full of inspirational moments and chance meetings that led Nick toward his dream but- it’s not all puppies and flowers…the conversation also covered the ups, downs and near-critical moments that shaped Devotchka. Then, sought after touring musician Frank Locrasto shares about his solo instrumental record for part 2 of this episode. Rain and Summer insist they both also answer the three important questions… Why music? Who are listening to? & What’s your form of activism?

January 14, 2020 Portrait: Alejandro Aranda
This intimate conversation centers around music and it’s healing power for Alejandro, in regard to both mental health and life path. He shares about his family life, homeschooling, his meteoric rise on American Idol and how his fight to maintain his self-expression ultimately won them over. Plus we find out he only started playing at age 19?! A virtuoso with a virtuous heart. Don’t miss this episode. So much about honesty and vulnerability and how we can “support, encourage and remind each other” to make art from that place.

January 07, 2020 Portrait: Cherry Glazerr
Oh my darlin’ Clementine Creevy is a peach! Don’t miss this conversation centered around her greatest passion music, how she discovered it in early childhood and how it has remained her North Star. Her love of guitar and how it guides her is so authentic and inspiring! You may also learn a few things about skincare and assume a new dude persona. The best part- when they discuss doing what you love for the art of it, not caving to critical opinion or anything that might take you away from your creativity. Welcome to the first LaunchLeft of the new decade.
