Worktapes

In episode 21 of Worktapes we have Mae Simpson on! Mae has a big voice and is writing big songs with her 7 member band in Minneapolis. I get to speak with Mae and her guitarist, Jorgen Wadkins about starting out, writing as a band and a fun song they wrote together called Stuck In The Blues.

In our last episode of Worktapes for 2021 we have the privilege of talking to singer, writer, and producer, Stephen Day. We talk about being in the studio, a marshmallow named Quippy and an amazing song from his newest record called " If Standing Was Flying".

In this special Christmas episode of Worktapes, we hear the fascinating story behind the classic and beautiful song, O Holy Night. We go through the lyrics and Brandon plays the song.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Safe to say we had too much fun in this episode of Worktapes. In episode 19 I had the pleasure of talking to Carly Bannister about touring, self-doubt, snacks and a great great song she wrote called "Same Team"
