Episode 83 - Andrew Cushin - Damien Rice, O

For episode 83 I'm joined by singer-songwriter Andrew Cushin to explore one of the most influential albums of the early 00's, Damien Rice's iconic debut album O.

I joined Andrew post soundcheck at Signature Brew's iconic venue on Black Horse Road on a barmy summer evening to discuss his lifelong connection to Damien's music, the emotional impact of songs like Cannonball, The Blower's Daughter and Amie.

We also dives into Andrew's career, working with Noel Gallagher, touring the UK, growing up in Newcastle, and using music to process grief, loss, love, and family.
