Gill Landry has a beer with me while he eats his pre-show pizza at Benson's in NYC's Lower East Side. After serving years as a sideman in Old Crow Medicine Show, Landry decided it was time to fully pursue his solo career with his self-titled third LP. Gill talks about his goal to make the album for fewer than $5000, how spending his 20s in New Orleans affected his songwriting, and his contributions to the touring documentary, Austin to Boston. gilllandrymusic.com drypaintsigns.com |

Dave Monks and I have some non-Canadian brews at Sugarburg in Brooklyn, NY. Known by many as the bassist and singer of Tokyo Police Club, Monks explains how a move to NYC inspired him to write the songs for his first solo EP, All Signs Point to Yes. Dave also reveals the differences in recording TPC's Champ and Forcefield albums, and teaches me the correct pronunciation of Toronto. davemonksmusic.com drypaintsigns.com
