Indie Rock/Folk Band: Happy Landing
Welcome to a super special episode -- not just because we are approaching our 500th episode, though I've gotta say I’m pretty proud of that, and so grateful to all of the artists who’ve given their time and been open to this conversation, but also because this episode features one of my favorite interviews from the podcast so far this year. I have been a deep admirer of Happy Landings' music, and Matty Hendley’s soulfulness and poeticism as a singer and writer, since the band came into our radar, and I loved hearing him and the entire band (Keegan Christensen (vocals, keys), Jacob Christensen (drums), Andrew Gardner (fiddle, vocals), and Wilson Moyer (bass/guitar, vocals) share so many meaningful facets of their creative journey in this conversation. We talked about the excellent new album coming out this year, playing major festivals, living in a state of gratitude, the band's genesis in Oxford at Ole Miss and much more.
