150 Shows a Year, The Voice, and Avoiding the Nashville Machine | Episode 09

from Low Tide | A Post-Performance Podcast · host Seawall Sessions

In this episode of Low Tide, we sit down with  @AnthonyArya  to talk about growing up in the Bay Area music scene, busking on the street as a teenager, and what it was like going from local blues bars to The Voice at just 15 years old. We dive into the pressure of performing on national television, learning how to command a stage early, and why years of nonstop live shows shaped him into such a polished and instinctive performer.We also get into San Francisco counterculture and why Anthony feels disconnected from the “assembly line” side of songwriting culture. Along the way, we talk about Bob Dylan, releasing a fifth full-length album at only 23, sentient tomatoes, EDM remixes, and why Anthony hates karaoke.
