The Check-In with Stephen Buono

         Stephen Buono is a producer, songwriter, and devisor of the collective project Church Chords. The debut record, Elvis, he was a Schlager is out Feb 23 on his new label, Otherly Love. Stephen takes us through the process of making this expansive and cohesive record, how it was initially inspired by the University of Miami marching band, and why the first version of the record was scrapped. He tells us why the spirit of freedom and collaboration was crucial for this project and why he's grateful for the long list of heavy hitters that contributed. Joe and Stephen have a Minutemen superfan moment and we hear a few tunes from the new record.Church ChordsOtherly LoveEpisode supported by DistrokidEpisode supported by Izotope Mentioned in this episode:Schecter GuitarsIzotopeDistrokid
