In this episode I chat with my one-time schoolmate and longtime pal, the talented singer-songwriter Travis Shipley.
Amongst many other things, we talk about…
what it’s like to pull songs from the void (and sometimes lose them back to it)
moving on from younger eras of our work when our perspectives change
the narratives we create about ourselves and then operate from
the glee of improv comedy with people you know and love
how he’s waking up to the stoke of being alive
the river of joy and how you get there (HINT: you don’t have to earn it)
You can find Travis on Instagram @therealtravisshipley and listen to some of his solo back catalog here (My favorites from that lineup are The Fall, Carefully Care for Them, and the cover of Tainted Love)
You can learn more about me and my work on my web site and find me on Instagram/Facebook @ followthepaint (but more on Instagram tbh)
You can read my zine-style newsletter FOLLOW THE PAINT here and buy my slipstream short story THE JADE ROOM here
