In this episode, Erik chats with Dan Asio, an independent singer-songwriter from the suburbs of Chicago and the cohost of the local music podcast The Underbelly Hours. The conversations focus around Dan’s latest EP “Still Jaded”, the suburban brewery circuit, last week’s Spotify debacle with Neil Young and Joe Rogan, and the importance of artists taking time to develop their sounds and the process of curation from a peer review and community perspective.
