Things are always changing and the scene is no different, but what always stays the same is speaking with extremely talented musicians. I had the opportunity to do just that once again with Telle Smith of The Word Alive, but this time, it was in-person and live backstage at House of Blues in Boston!

Telle and I talk about everything music, including Telle’s stints with In Fear and Faith and Greeley Estates, new The Word Alive, touring during the holidays, but also some past stories about Telle (and Ian) that you might not know from when they dealt with bullying, and much more. Surprise guests, weird sounds, and surprises are all part of live recording, so just be aware this was not recorded in a studio!

Check out the exclusive interview below, including iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and more:
