The Interview Show with Passenger (radio version) #213

Indie folk rocker Passenger aka Mike Rosenberg is a member of a very exclusive club. His song "Let Her Go" has surpassed one billion plays on YouTube. But Mike wasn't an overnight sensation. After his band folded in 2009, Mike traveled the world singing for money on sidewalks. He practiced his craft as a solo singer-songwriter, releasing several records himself, until his song "Let Her Go" caught fire and changed his life. I hung out for a bit with Mike while he was doing a short small venue tour in advance of the release of his latest record Young as the Morning Old as the Sea. We talked about his time on the streets busking, keeping his songs simple but effective, surviving a band breakup to go solo, and more. Listen to our chat.
