Ghost Light Episode 10.17 - Steven Mackey: Champion of Musical Underdogs

We recently sat down (virtually) with Grammy Award–winning composer and electric guitarist Steve Mackey. His inventive, genre-bending work is heard in concert halls across the country, and this May, Abravanel Hall will resonate with his electric guitar concerto Aluminum Flowers. Jeff and I had a genuinely delightful time talking with Steve about everything from skiing to musical underdogs to the compositional process, with plenty of unexpected turns along the way. For more information on Steve’s journey and works, go to https://stevenmackey.com/ or follow him on Instagram @steven_mackey. To listen to his compositions, go to Apple Music or Spotify.
