Interview: Tommy Kessler

Had the pleasure of speaking with man about town, Tommy Kessler for the CHIRP Radio Artist Interview Series this week. Tommy is one of those guys who has an effortless ability to realize the vision and intention for his work and he's amassed an impressive catalog after moving from St. Louis to Chicago as a result. We mostly talked about his solo work, particularly his double EP Mortal Love, but also got into the history of his solo work and the comp of local artists that he assembled and produced to benefit local, community non-profit Brave Space Alliance. It was a fun conversation and I'm fairly happy with the production job on the final cut too. You can listen on CHIRP's site here, or below:
