Sweetman Podcast: Episode 29 - Sylvie Simmons

An in-depth chat with Sylvie Simmons, legendary music writer - biographer of Serge Gainsbourg and Leonard Cohen, staff writer for MOJO, former queen of Heavy Metal, Americana columnist, ukulele enthusiast and transplanted Brit. We talk, in her home in San Francisco, about her career and life and also the burgeoning political situation in America. We reminisce over Sylvie's visit to New Zealand and our first meeting four years ago when she was busy writing her Cohen tome. We talk about her album and second career as a touring musician, her plans for a follow-up album, a new music biography (still a secret currently) and a second volume of short stories. We talk about a life dedicated to music and writing. Get full access to Sounds Good! at simonsweetman.substack.com/subscribe
