Next Big Thing is your destination to find new, up-and-coming artists, and discover how the industry works for the “little guy,” because you always hear how the big dogs are doing, but it’s rare to hear the breakout story.

The whole band hopped on a call with me this week to chat about pandemic life, how their favorite artists influence them, and the reason they create music in the first place.
