Saves The Day (Chris Conley)

Chris Conley has spent the majority of his life as the frontman for Saves The Day. Now in the latter half of his thirties, Chris has become an icon in alternative music who continues to inspire countless aspiring musicians with each song he writes. That kind of influence can be overwhelming, but as we discover in this episode, he's possibly the most down to earth person you could hope to meet in entertainment. Host James Shotwell recently sat down with Conley in Grand Rapids, MI with the intent to discuss music. Instead, the pair talked about mindfulness, the importance of breathing, and the literature shaping their perspectives on existence. Conley shares how a small number of books he read around the time the band began have made all the difference in the man he's become. James tries to keep up, sharing the books influencing his perspective on life, and through doing so, finds common ground with Chris on the things that matter most to the human experience.
