TRUSTY CHORDS

THE TRUSTY
CHORDS STORY

Hello, and welcome to Trusty Chords, the podcast which aims to celebrate music and those that create it.

Trusty Chords is a music interview podcast which aims to do two things. Firstly, it hopes to have a frank and casual chat with an artist or creative individual; not necessarily promoting their newest release, or spruiking their upcoming show, but discussing their craft and their own creative story.

Then, we’ll look an artist’s own Trusty Chords.

In the world of music theory, a basic chord is made up the first, third, and fifth notes of a given scale. In this podcast, we extrapolate that into musicians’ own lives; looking at one artist that changed their life, three albums that have impacted them greatly, and five songs they can always turn to.

By doing this, I’m wanting to uncover a little more about what makes an artist tick, and what sort of inspirations and influences are bubbling away under the surface.

A bit unsure of what I’m yammering on about? Check out the latest episode below!
