We close our series with a very special guest. We first heard Lillie Mae's music when we went to Nashville in 2019 and quickly became huge fans. It was such a joy to speak to someone so authentic. She really is an artist through and through. We talk through favourite tea blends, life in a family band and her breathtaking song, ‘Terlingua Girl’.  Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we welcome Sam Teskey from one of our favourite bands of the day, The Teskey Brothers. We can remember listening to their second studio album ‘Run Home Slow’ for the first time and being amazed by their raw and soulful energy. We talk through tape machines, keeping it simple and their unbelievably powerful song, ‘Paint My Heart’.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was a highlight of our lockdown to speak with the wonderful James Morrison. We toured together a couple of years ago and were in awe of his commitment, stage presence and unbelievable voice. On top of that, he’s one of the funniest and most humble artists we’ve had the pleasure to meet. We talk through the art of ‘simple’ songwriting, committing to a record, and his sunshine anthem, ’Power’.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we speak with a guy who knows his Blues - Abraham Alexander. We met in Austin a few years back and became huge fans of his debut EP, which came out in 2019. He is authentic, immensely talented and a very genuine and humble songwriter. We talk through recording at Abbey Road, our differing opinions on beans on toast and his breathtaking song, ‘Stay’.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are so excited to have one of our favourite bands on the show - Flyte. Their music is written with a rare sense of depth and profound awareness, and their debut album sits proudly as one of the most loved in our record collection. We talk through their upcoming heartbreak album ‘This Is Really Going To Hurt’, embracing your limitations and their new single, ‘Under The Skin’. Hosted on Acast.

This week, we welcome the Queen of Rock, Indie & Americana - her friends call her Jade Bird. After touring together in Europe this spring, the world went into lockdown and Jade went to RCA Studios via a Mexico City apartment block to record her upcoming album. We talk through Middle 8s, the wonder of the D major chord and her brilliant new single ‘Houdini’ before honouring her writing with our own rendition.  Hosted on Acast.

In a very special episode, we chat to singer-songwriter Jack Francis in our home studio about his new single ‘A Little Love’. After pinning Jack at the top of our list for years, we were thrilled when he asked us to produce his record. Exhausted and overexcited after a long recording session, the three of us talk about his writing journey, our process working together and his flawless ‘one-take’ vocals before performing his new single live. His debut album is due for release in 2021.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To open the series, we chat to Scottish Americana sensation, Roseanne Reid about her song ‘Sweet Annie’. Taken from her debut album ‘Trails’ released in 2019, the single shows precisely who she is as a lyricist, musician and as a person, who we are lucky enough to call a friend. Together, we discuss writing methods, working with Steve Earle, laugh about the various bumps and pitfalls of being a writer and compare our all time heroes in the art of songwriting.  Hosted on Acast.
