Grammy winner Evan Smith has the MOST RIDICULOUS CV. 

As Jack Antonoff's go to man for horns/flutes/sax and more, Evan has played on multiple Taylor Swift records, Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter, St Vincent & Paul McCartney's collaboration on McCartney III and TV Off by Kendrick Lamar, which explore each on this episode.

Hear what it's like listening to your music on Kendrick's superbowl performance, the brief for Please Please Please, what's next for Bleachers, and the reality of a remote session player. Evan has also played on records by Bruce Springsteen, Lana Del Rey, The 1975 and Peter Gabriel.
