On this episode John McCauley talks about his approach to recording, as well as his thoughts on what kind of person you have to be to be a touring musician. You'll also hear the authors that inspire some of John's writing...which may surprise you. In the full episode that came out last week we covered Deer Tick's experience playing Newport Folk Festival for the first time and the ensuing post-festival concerts they did for nearly a decade. With that, at the end of the episode I shared a track from the band's album Live At Fort Adams that was recorded in 2020. The song is "Jumpstarting" and you can pick this up on vinyl at deertickmusic.com either on this live record or their studio album "Vol. 2"
