If you couldn't tell from the temperature outside, Chicago's festival season is far behind us. That doesn't mean that we still can't bask in its after glow though! This year at Riot Fest I had the pleasure of speaking with Mat Kerekes of Citizen as he prepared to tour in support of his new album, Ruby. We talked about his influences, '90s nostalgia, and ways to unwind when not on tour. Check out the full interview by clicking the link below. Thanks to CHIRP Radio for running the interview, Sarah Brooks for scheduling our convo, and Robert Patterson for doing a boss job with the production.
