TJ Armand Talks Happy Hour Blues, Vol. 2, A New Musical Album, Now Out!

from The Roundtable with Robert Bannon · host Broadway Podcast Network

TJ Armand joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to celebrate the release of his bold and innovative new musical project, Happy Hour Blues, Vol. 2 — a genre-bending album told entirely through story, song, and character. Created using AI-generated voices and theatrical storytelling, the project plays like a full-scale musical, blending blues, soul, and dramatic narrative into a listening experience that feels more like a stage production than a traditional record. Robert and TJ dig into how this ambitious album was built, from writing the characters and scenes to using AI voices as a creative tool to bring the musical to life. TJ opens up about pushing past traditional industry limits, what it means to be both the playwright and the producer of your own work, and how Happy Hour Blues, Vol. 2 represents a whole new way of telling stories through music.
