Fruit Bats’ Eric D Johnson Hits The Terrapin Crossroads
Fruit Bats’ Eric D. Johnson recently had a conversation with the Terrapin Crossroads Podcast. “The wide-ranging conversation,” writes the podcast synopsis, “covers Johnson’s prolific recent run of albums, his evolution as a songwriter, the economics and frustrations of being a career indie artist, his early break opening for Modest Mouse and signing to Sub Pop, his lifelong Deadhead fandom and scholarly obsession with the Grateful Dead, his collaborations with Joe Russo, Phil Lesh and Graham, and the formation of Bonny Light Horseman with Anaïs Mitchell and Josh Kaufman. Johnson also discusses what a producer does, working with Tom Monahan, and the near-miss period before Gold Past Life when he was rejected by nine labels.” Listen here.
