On this episode, I tackle all sorts of topics with Santa Barbara-based songwriter Conner Cherland. In between talking at length about what it means to ‘make it’ in the music industry, we also squeeze in plenty of references that every 90s kid should get, a little about maturity and masculinity, and some details about Conner’s new album, The Choices of John Still.
