Happy December, FAYE-treon Friends!
For the final 2025 episode of "Talking At The Diner," I got together with one of the Philadelphia music scene's most compelling personalities. Kara Koser is the bold and dauntless leader of KOSER .. the band that - rightfully so - has her name on it. Her musical vision blends alt-rock stylings with her soulful voice, electronic flourishes, and a band of high-level players to create a musical collective that is equally potent and at-home in front of traditional rock audiences, jam-leaning festival crowds, or a room packed with 20-something college kids (as you'll hear us discuss).

In addition to being a top-tier live performer with a vocal range that would inspire envy in most of the singers I know, Kara is also a person who has delved into some pretty dark spaces in her life, yet has come through it all to emerge as an artist to reckon with while remaining a kind and grounded human. This is not to say that there are not times when even she takes a cold hard look at her online antics and realizes that she.. much like myself.. might be unwell.. but in the best possible way.  
I met up with Kara in Springfield, Pennsylvania at the aptly named Springfield Diner, where we had ourselves what can only be described as a time. 😁

I hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation as much as I did! This is the perfect ending to another year of TatD, and I can't wait to have more great chats with more amazing artists in 2026! Thank you as always for your support, which not only funds this show and feeds working musicians, but it also allows me to wholeheartedly pursue all my creative endeavors. I cannot tell you what that means to me. In a word: EVERYTHING. So, thank you all again!

Happy Holidays!
