Episode 39 - One Last Look Back

Episode 39 of the podcast is now available for your aural enjoyment. It marks the end of our look back. In all, there have been 34 episodes of original and new content.

In this episode, we look back at episodes 29 through 34 and feature conversation and music from Dustin Morris, Brandon Thomas, Michael Brown, Cary William White, Connor Jay Liess, and Wayne White. You'll find links to the full episodes for each artist below.

Measured Voices has been a great deal of fun, and I have enjoyed sitting down and talking with all of the artists featured. I've also enjoyed having the opportunity to hear some of their music. I hope you have as well.

While putting together the podcast has been fun and is a labor of love, it is also a fair amount of work. Because of that, I've decided to take some time off from working on the podcast. That time away will hopefully give me time to work on my own music and also line up guests for new episodes.

The current plan is to try to resume posting new episodes with the start of the new year. Check in with the podcast's Facebook page from time to time for updates.

In the meantime, I hope you'll check out some of the local songwriters living and working around the Treasure Valley. There are some truly fine songwriters and musicians who deserve your support, and I hope you'll give them a chance to win that support.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 29 - Dustin Morris

Episode 29 is here and with it the start of a new year of Measured Voices. That's right, Measured Voices has been around for a full year, and I want to thank each and every one of you for coming along on this musical journey. If your friends have yet to discover the little podcast that could, won't you invite them along for the ride?

Year Two kicks off with a conversation with Dustin Morris, formerly of the band Edison. While Edison was based in the Denver area, with the band's breakup, Dustin made the decision to move a little further north, to Boise. We'll talk about what drew Dustin here.

We'll talk a bit about Edison and its demise, as well as touch on the idea that the band found success before it was really ready for it. Dustin also talks about some of the differences between Edison's music and the music he writes and performs now as a solo artist, as well as some of the physical challenges of being Edison's multi-instrumentalist.

Of course, we'll talk songwriting and about some of the freedom Dustin's found as a solo artist. Dustin talks about some of his musical and songwriting influences. Then, we talk about the Boise Music Project that Dustin helped launch after arriving in Boise - what it's about and what it hopes to achieve.

We'll touch on the changing landscape for independent musicians, Dustin's impressions of Boise's music scene, and common themes in his music. Dustin also shares three of his songs: "All That I Am," "Everything Is Magic," and "My Downfall."

In two weeks, episode 30 features a conversation with Nampa songwriter Brandon Thomas.
