Jac Carson on Austin Music, Songwriting & Finding Your Own Sound | CKC76

Austin musician Jac Carson joins Cody and Kai for a wide-ranging conversation about life as a working musician, songwriting, creativity, comedy, and the culture that makes Austin unique.Jac shares stories from years of playing live on Sixth Street, including a memorable encounter with Gary Clark Jr., and gets into what performing constantly teaches you about connecting with an audience. The conversation dives into finding your own artistic voice, the parallels between music and stand-up comedy, why artists shouldn’t take themselves too seriously, and the danger of chasing trends instead of following an idea wherever it naturally leads. Jac explains why sometimes the best approach to songwriting is simply to “let it be what it is” and allow your own sound to emerge from the work. They also get into AI and the value of human creativity, John Frusciante’s idea of the artist as a conduit, sports, comedy, pop culture, and plenty of completely unnecessary detours along the way. #CodyKaiCast #CKC76 #JacCarson #AustinMusic #Songwriting #AustinMusicians #Podcast
