My Favourite Elliott Smith Song9 Jul 2020

S3 Ep7: Sammy Brue (plus Max Bloom)

In this episode, we’re taking a bit of a two pronged approach to the song we’re looking at.

First up, we have our main interview, which is with the musician Sammy Brue. Sammy is a musician based in Ogden, Utah, in the United States. Sammy released his first album at the age of just 16, and now at only 18 he’s just put out his second record, Crash Test Kid. He’s also quite new as an Elliott Smith fan, having only recently delved a bit deeper into Elliott’s catalogue on a recent tour to Germany. And in this interview, he talks to Elizabeth Withstandley about how he’s enjoying discovering Elliott’s music and why it resonates with him so much.

Following Sammy's interview, we speak to an old friend of the show and former guest, Max Bloom, as he covered the song that Sammy picked for an Elliott Smith tribute album that came out in 2016

We round this off at the end with a listener pick from Rebecca in London and a couple of other bits and pieces.
