The Less Desirables Recorded in The Omniverus Studios at Liberty Plaza.

This week, Tim and Bethany welcome a pair of musical brothers whose shared history, family roots, and creative spark have led to an evolving collaboration years in the making. From their father’s legacy as a well-known regional performer to their own winding paths through bands, recording projects, and unexpected inspiration, the conversation blends heartfelt reminiscence with plenty of laughs. Longtime friend and returning guest Kristen joins in, adding her own unique perspective — and the occasional nudge that helped bring the brothers into the studio.

Over the course of the episode, stories unfold about late-night songwriting challenges, learning instruments in church basements, and the art of turning rough demos into polished tracks. The brothers open up about their creative process, layering instruments, and finding ways to collaborate despite distance and busy lives. Along the way, there are candid discussions about influences, technical gear quirks, and the strange magic that happens when a handpan, a laptop, and two determined musicians collide.

The episode also offers an exclusive listen to new music from their upcoming EP, showcasing both the depth of their sound and the chemistry that fuels it. Between live performances, talk of “drive fast” songs, and a few unexpected tangents, this conversation captures the energy of artists who create for the love of the craft — and the joy of sharing it. Whether you’re a musician, a music lover, or just in it for the banter, this one’s worth turning up.
