Because the conversation was too good, and because I'm too lazy to cut out anything, I decided to make my conversation with long-time Boise singer-songwriter Dan Costello a two-parter.
Part one was posted last Friday, and today, part two is launched into the electronic vapor. In part two, Dan talks about his latest band project, Sono Fuego, telling us how it came about and what Sono Fuego is all about.Since Dan also still performs solo gigs, we talk about the dynamics of performing solo versus in a band. then Dan discussed how this experience differs from his past band experiences.
We spend some time talking about Dan's decision to perform mainly with a nylon-string guitar and about why Dan's fingernails are so important. That segues into some conversation about Dan's approach to finger-style playing, complete with examples.
Dan talks about what he enjoys most about performing live. He also shares some great thoughts on developing one's stagecraft and talks about the advice he received for overcoming stage fright.
We talk about Dan's increased presence and involvement with the Idaho Songwriters Association, and Dan shares his thoughts about finding success in music. Dan then closes out the episode with a performance of his song "Home Is Where The Heart Is."
Another new episode drops next Friday, August 10. (Then we resume our bi-weekly schedule.) In it, Joel Rodely, Wade Huston, and Dusty Leigh from Dusty Leigh & The Claim Jumpers sit down with me to talk about their name, how the band got started, their approach to songwriting, and more. They also share several of their songs.
