Eric Earley (Blitzen Trapper) + Sacred Psychedelia on the Jukebox (w David Bunker)

Blitzen Trapper has been making some of the most interesting and
compelling experimental folk/rock/alt-country/progressive music
since The Flying Burrito Brothers, and their frontman, main
songwriter, producer, and musician, Eric Earley joins us on the
podcast to talk about the whole story. From his own roots as a
musically adventurous kid to the band’s most recent album, Holy
Smokes Future Jokes, to "cosmic humility" and his work with
homeless veterans in the Portland area, Earley is a fount of
mystical, meaningful, art.


 


We also crank up the Jukebox for a deep dive into the seemingly
unlikely world of “sacred psychedelia,” and check in with poet,
teacher, and music industry veteran, David Bunker for some
much-appreciated perspective. It’s a wild trip, but the thread
between Hendrix, “Jesus Psych,” and contemporary artists like
Blitzen Trapper, Natalie Bergman, Daniel Amos, and Sufjan Stevens
is strong.


 


Brace yourself for a long, winding, and beautifully weird and
spiritual musical experience. (Full music list and links
