ctverses audio interviews

for this ct verses audio interview, i spoke with sam carlson. by day, sam is the engineer and producer of Sans Serif recordings in New Haven, where he's worked with bands like SHY, Evelyn Gray, the Fiction Kids, Killer Kin, Ditch Boys, Fiction, and more, and by night, he is a musician and songwriter, playing in Ports of Spain, Laundry Day, and the Proud Flesh. i'm talking with him specifically today about his solo work as "s.g. carlson". the song you heard in the intro there is "spangled sun", and it comes from the excellent upcoming album 'Sing The Hits', set for release on april fool's day, april 1st on safety meeting records. if you are listening to this podcast after april 1st, do me a favor and pause this podcast, strike up bandcamp, and listen to 'Sing The Hits' right now. i adore this record, and i'm excited for people to hear it. in this interview, i talk with sam about what it's like to go solo, his philosophy for recording other peoples' bands, and we unravel the mystery of who wrote that catchy jingle for those Narangansett beer commercials. https://sgcarlson.bandcamp.com/ https://www.sansserifrec.com/ https://www.ctverses.com
