Grayson Capps: A Bowl of Fresh Water and A Thorn in The Side

Eric joins singer-songwriter and Mobile music icon Grayson Capps. Grayson traces his path from studying theater at Tulane to fronting bands in New Orleans, landing a record deal at 21, and eventually making the leap to full-time musician after teaching John Travolta songs for the film *A Love Song for Bobby Long — all while landscaping or running a jackhammer during the day. Grayson talks about the Frog Pond Sunday Social he built with Cathe Steele, the post-Katrina energy that started Hangover Sundays at Callahan's, and why he values harmony over competition. Grayson also shares his philosophy on music: a live audience is "the biggest bullshit meter in the entire world," and “the most beautiful things in life aren't marketable.” He explains what it means when a song creates that rare moment where "there's no you or me, there's a we." Grayson also performs one of the favorite songs he’s written, The Junkman.
