Avery Ballotta of Damn Tall Buildings - Your Next Favorite Band

We were excited to learn about Damn Tall Buildings heading in to last year's Musikfest, and they more than exceeded expectations - becoming our "Best of the Fest" and fav find from the line-up.  We were then thrilled when they also agreed to come on the show.The fiddle player Avery Ballotta joined us in-person on their home turf of Brooklyn, NY.  Known as "Montana" as he's originally from Bozeman, we took a beautiful deep dive in to his personal story, his journey to Boston, how he changed his audition song walking through the door to perform, and how the band came together while at college.  Their busking spirit is where they found their path, and they've never looked back.During our chat, you'll also learn how to tell the difference between a fiddle and a violin, what micro-gravity is, and how to support their music making efforts in a manner that harkens back to the Renaissance times.  We share a bunch of their music along the way and even compare the distinct lyrical differences between a Max song and a Sasha song.  All written collaboratively by this brilliant trio.Do not miss the chance to see them play live, and I hope you enjoy this interview!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at [email protected] you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let’s catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival
