Today I'm in the studio with singer/songwriter Thad Cockrell and his amazing story of how one song, heard at one moment in time - in a hardware store no less - by The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, brought Thad's song "Swingin'" to the number one spot on iTunes, and introduced millions of new fans to his CD ''If In Case You Feel The Same". A North Carolina native who attended Wake Forest Seminary, this down to earth musician talks about making music during the pandemic; the day he heard he was going to be a guest on The Tonight Show (and what it was like playing with house band "The Roots"!); working with Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes; his start in the Raleigh, North Carolina local music scene with Chris Stamey of the dB's, and so much more.
About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:
Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests know media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and nearly always entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in my swanky studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday.
