Briscoe: Heat of July, Life on the Road & Going All In

In this episode, I’m joined by Briscoe, the Austin-based folk-rock duo made up of Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton, for a thoughtful conversation about songwriting, touring, and growing into a life built around music.We talk about their latest album, Heat of July, and how long drives, time spent on the road, and missing home shaped a record that unfolds like a series of lived-in moments. Briscoe also shares what it was like balancing college life while building a band, hitting the road immediately after graduation, and learning — sometimes the hard way — what touring really demands.We get into: 🎶 Writing songs inspired by real moments and the people you meet along the way 📚 The unexpected book that sparked the story behind “Escuidilla” 🚌 The realities of early touring — from snow-covered roads to unforgettable fan connections 🎷 How a long-forgotten saxophone became a live-show staple 🎤 Opening for Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge and artists they dream of touring with nextIf you love behind-the-scenes tour stories and discovering artists on the rise, this episode is for you.To learn more about Briscoe and find upcoming tour dates, visit their website.**Briscoe will be in Atlanta on February 20 at Terminal West — a great chance to catch these songs live!--------------------Did you know Metro Atlanta has 200+ concerts EVERY WEEK!
