Welcome back to Shay & The Good People podcast. I got connected to Ross from friends I made upstate when I was living in Kingston, NY. Ross’s songs are meaningful, intimate, and vulnerable. So his goofy, silly nature came as a wonderful delight!
In this ep, we talk about:
Pros and cons of fangirling
Ross’s pandemic podcast called “Stage Banter”
Ross being a goofy, fun loving guy!
How Shay taught herself guitar over the pandemic
The importance of discussing our mental health with loved ones
Their love of gabbing between songs
Music calming the nervous system
Sad girl summer songs
Balancing enjoying a variety of music genres
Playing to a specific crowd
Writing on the west coast
Getting wacked by a branch while doing show promo
