Dennis Ellsworth on the art of play in songwriting

from Artists on Art · host Drea Macdonald

It was great to talk to my old buddy and bandmate, Dennis Ellsworth, recently. He's an award-winning songwriter and musician, producer, dad and more. We had a great talk about the art of play, how his writing goes in cycles, his favorite kinds of shows to play, and making art for ourselves first. You can find out more about his work and upcoming shows on his website.Theme song - "Art" by Tanya Davis Podcast logo/artwork by BirdmouseFollow the Podcast on InstagramDonate to help keep this podcast running and ad-free
