EP20: Lily DeTaeye "Your Own Kind of Fiction"

Lily DeTaeye has been performing since she was 13, cutting her teeth at the local farmer’s market, busking, and later honing her craft further by touring extensively across the U.S. Her songwriting taps into her own life experiences in a relatable and beautifully poetic way, and she’s also found inspiration from novels through her love of reading. We talk about the music-life balance, her “New Song November” songwriting challenge, the journey that took her to Brooklyn, and where she’s headed next.
Plus, hear a clip of her new song “Maybe it’s November”, then head to our YouTube channel next week for the full performance.

EP15: Joel Sires “Too Late to Stop Now”

Joel Sires is proudly a man without a plan. Influenced by John Prine, The Beatles, and ‘60s one-hit wonders, he let the music guide him into a sound that’s uniquely Joel – a collection of achingly beautiful, folk-led songs, some laced with humor and others observational. Having played since he was young with his ragtag yet highly talented group of brothers and cousins, Joel cut his teeth by gigging consistently and cranking out new songs every show. All those hours of practice and experience paid off, developing him into the salt-of-the-earth songwriter he is today. Stick around after the chat to hear a snip of Joel’s new song “Any Pair of Eyes” recorded live at Trilix Studio.
