On this episode of Music You’re Missing, host Brendan Jeannetti sat down with Ari, the creative force behind the indie band Dipsea Flower, for a candid conversation about the artist’s musical journey.
Ari, originally from California, shared how the band's name pays homage to the Dipsea Trail in his hometown. He detailed his unconventional path to music, from business school at Northeastern University to a cross-country journey that eventually led him to Berklee College of Music. Ari’s story highlighted a journey driven by intuition, personal growth, and a deep passion for music, culminating in the formation of Dipsea Flower.
Ari discussed the creative process behind Dipsea Flower's songs, including their recent track "Sundance," which was born out of a bout of writer’s block. He described the transformative experience of collaborating with producer John Gilbert, who pushed the band to explore new sonic directions. This collaboration resulted in a fresh sound that Ari is particularly proud of, marking a significant step in Dipsea Flower’s evolution.
The conversation also touched on the band's recent tour with notable folk acts like Hans Williams and the Briscoe Brothers. Ari shared his excitement about the experience, highlighting how the tour tested the band's chemistry and expanded their live performance abilities.
Looking ahead, Dipsea Flower fans can anticipate new music soon, as Ari teased that more songs are in the works. As Dipsea Flower continues to grow, Ari remains focused on staying grounded, embracing life’s experiences, and sharing positive energy through his music.
