Sunday night I was joined by our new Locals Only Artist Of The Month of January, Seattle band Great Grandpa. I've been wanting to get Great Grandpa in studio for Locals Only since their fantastic album Four Of Arrows was released back in October so this was a real treat.
We spent the hour talking about how the band came together five years ago, what it was like recording these latest songs, how the album got its name and learning about some of the local artists Great Grandpa loves like Ings, Whitney Ballen, Pedro The Lion and more. They also schooled me on local band Bread Pilot that I'm sure you're going to be hearing more from on Locals Only in the future.
In the second hour of the show I played brand new music from The Radical Human, Sam Lachow featuring Dave B, and got to premier a new song from Point Of Arches who will be releasing their new EP this Sunday (1/12) at The Vera Project.
