My Favourite Elliott Smith Song30 Touko 2019

S2 Ep3: Scott McPherson (plus Sean Croghan)

Scott is a seasoned drummer. He played on the Figure 8 tour with Elliott and also featured on the album version of the track Pretty (Ugly Before), which is on From a Basement on the Hill. In addition to Elliott, he's also worked with musicians including M Ward, Sense Field, Beck and Bright Eyes.

Sean Croghan is a musician and artist from Portland. He became good friends with Elliott during the '90s, when their respective bands (Heatmiser and Crackerbash) were breaking up. Scott witnessed Elliott's first hand, particularly around the time the solo album was recorded, so he's got lots of great insight on how it was developed and what it changes as a result.

In addition to these two interviews, we also have Kathy Parkin from Minnesota, who provides us with this week's listener submission. If, like Kathy, you want to be featured on the show just send us a clip explaining what your favourite Elliott Smith song is and why to info@myfavouriteelliottsmithsong.com.
