Musician Sam Weber joins us this week to talk about the making of his new album, Get Free. The Canadian-born songwriter and guitarist created the album with his partner, musician Mallory Hauser, and Danny Austin-Manning. Recorded in a Hollywood apartment, the album is packed with unique gadgets both old and new, including Kalamazoo amps, a rubber bridge guitar built by Reuben Cox, a parts caster and more. It evokes the sounds of Bahamas, Blake Mills, Adam Levy and other FJ favorites but with its own unique spin.
During our chat we talk about the making of the album, Weber’s quirky gear choices, the life of a Canadian musician, influences and more.
