Guest host Sofia Wolfson introduces us to Renny Conti, a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter/producer. They discuss Renny’s introduction to music, the influence of Big Thief (Sofia just interviewed Adrianne Lenker for our 55th issue, btw), the beauty of cowboy chords, his new album, and more.
Renny’s self-titled album is out today (January 17, 2025). Check it out on Spotify or Apple Music.
