Hiss Golden Messenger joins host Raina Douris

M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger spent the pandemic writing songs for his new album, Quietly Blowing It, in his small home studio. And while that studio was, in some ways, a sanctuary from what was going on in the world outside, he talks about missing those small interactions you might not always notice in everyday life during isolation. He also gets into what it was like to be nominated for a Grammy last year, and performs live.
