Low Tide is a post-performance interview series from Seawall Sessions. Episodes will roll out alongside select live sessions, which are released exclusively on Youtube.
When the gear is packed up and the adrenaline settles, we sit down with artists for an unstructured, honest conversation. No promo beats. Just a moment to reflect on where they are, what they’re carrying, and what making the work actually feels like right now. Some conversations are about music. Some are about burnout, momentum, doubt, or joy. Some wander. That’s the point. Welcome to Low Tide at Seawall.

Along the way, we get into Lilith Fair, feminine rage in songwriting, cringe culture, being perceived online, spooky season, sleep paralysis demons, and why maybe trying too hard is actually a beautiful thing.

Full Takes, Mistakes, and the Internet | Episode 7

Not Every Song Has to Hurt | Episode 3
Susie and I talk about growing up surrounded by art, leaving New York, finding herself in Chicago, and what happens after the structure of school disappears and you’re left to define “home” and “self” on your own.

Delusional Confidence as a Strategy | Episode 2
As you get older, you can either build anchors that tie you to a specific version of life or learn how to move freely toward new ones. Abby and I reflect on this as we talk about the slow, often invisible process of learning to trust yourself outside of performance or validation, and the space between who you are onstage and who you are when no one is watching. We talk about growing up singing in church when music felt far from a career, borrowing delusional confidence before it became real, and the moment TSA wiped out every one of her project files.

When the Old You No Longer Fits | Episode 1
Low Tide is a post-performance conversation series, and episode one features a sitdown with SAINT KID, also known as Kii Kinsella.This conversation came from a very real place. For context: I found Kii’s music organically and spent months listening to it on repeat before we ever met. That shared history shaped the conversation in a way we didn’t plan for.We talk about going home and realizing you’re not the same person anymore, what it’s like to grow in public while still feeling small, and how strange it is to know people are making memories to your music. We get into where songs come from, writing in different cities and chapters of life, building work quietly before anyone’s paying attention, and trying to keep creating without letting numbers, algorithms, or outside expectations take over.
