Chris opens up about his evolving songwriting process, how his recent struggles have led to a new, laid-back acoustic sound, and his latest ventures with the band Look Park. This episode is not just about music; it's about resilience and the profound impact life experiences can have on creativity.
Creating music within a band is never straightforward, and Chris shares the complexities and tensions that arise during the songwriting process. We discuss the challenging dynamics of presenting unfinished songs to bandmates and the discomfort that comes with it. Chris candidly talks about turning rough ideas into cohesive tracks and the magic that happens in the studio through collaboration. We also reflect on how our paths crossed, leading to Chris's invaluable support for Joey's Song, reminding us of the significance of genuine connections and shared passions.
Joey's Song isn't just an event; it's a heartfelt community dedicated to epilepsy awareness. Chris recounts touching stories of fans coming together to support each other through life's hardships, from cancer battles to spontaneous musical performances.
