Podcast 296: Daniel Romano

Beginning in March of 2020, while most of the world was in
lockdown mode due to COVID, Daniel Romano did something truly
remarkable: He began releasing an album nearly every week on his
Bandcamp page.


On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to the Canadian
musician about his prolific output this year: from a
track-by-track re-creation of Bob Dylan's Infidels album played
as if the Plugz were Dylan's backing band, to his British
folk-inspired Alias Ensemble album, and all points in-between. We
hear about some of the self-imposed rules he gives himself when
recording, his current gear of choice, his forthcoming (ninth)
album for 2020, 'How Ill Thy World Is Ordered' (out Sept. 18,
2020 on You've Changed Records) and a lot more. Romano is one of
our favorite musicians and it was great to get a peek at his
creative process.
