Today, the Spotlight shines On John Brodeur, leader of the music project, Bird Streets.
John conceived of Bird Streets as his return to a band format after a long career as a solo artist. The new band point of view proved to be artistically freeing, and John joins us today to talk about Lagoon, the second Bird Streets album.
Among John’s collaborators on Lagoon are Pat Sansone of Wilco, Michael Lockwood, who has worked with Aimee Man and Fiona Apple, Ed Harcourt, John Davis of Superdrag, and Jody Stephens of Big Star.
Lagoon is a lush and complex record, filled with moments of intense emotional vulnerability and second-to-none pop songwriting. John brought his openness and storytelling ways to this talk as well.
