The LWP was created by musician, artist, and audio engineer James Sterling Cooper. It is designed to give the listener insights into the art of songwriting.
All the bands, musicians, and friends are hand picked by J.S.C. and are invited to join the show to share stories about how they got into music, how they craft songs, and life experiences that have happened on and off the road.
A specific recording is spotlighted from a band or artist and they dissect when and how it was recorded, how the songs were written, how it was all put together, and struggles that happened along the way to completion. Tune in and find out about some awesome insights into music you may or may not of heard of.
At this time, it is mainly a music podcast but subject matter may change overtime as different types of guests appear on the show.
After almost a year the LWP is back! In this episode JSC talks about random subjects and rants on different topics.
Welcome back to the LWP!
