What a great time it was talking to Bree Castello about her unique approach to creating music. Recording in the studio with her sounds super fun! Big shout out to Lij Shaw at Toy Box Studio in Nashville who produced Bree and introduced her to me.

Get a little perspective on how it is to be a piano player in a folk rock band called The Noms. This is not your typical folk rock band.

Josh Herrera, the inspirator shares "Reflection" which is played at the end of the interview, and also has some interesting outlooks on how to stay inspired within a band.
