![]() TK: That’s really interesting that you say that, because that’s not usually what people say when I ask that question. There are a handful of places where all the local bands play, and it can feel closer than you’d expect. WXPN and World Cafe were my primary experiences with Philly music up until then, but New York is also great. But when I started listening to more local Philly music while I was in college, my taste started to shift in that direction and I had no idea there were so many incredible artists just right here. I played outside of Philly with my bands a lot and I missed out on the DIY scene that Philly’s kind of known for. NC: I wish I was more a part of the Philly music scene when I was younger. TK: Since you’re so loyal to New York - how do you compare New York to Philly’s music scenes? After that, I kind of just stuck around and hung out with friends and bandmates and picked up projects, so it just made sense. There was really only one school I wanted to go to. TK: Was college the push to leave Philly? I moved there in 2014, and that’s where I met Holden. TK: Remind me where you went to college? Philly or New York? So guitar is just all I do - everything’s right here at this desk. I also teach guitar during the day, so I spend some time doing that, and that’s fun. When I was on the road a lot more, it was a bummer, but in between touring, this is all I do. NC: We only really just started playing shows again, so I’ve had a lot of time. TK: How do you find time to work on your own music in between all of that? We’ve toured in the past, but lately I’ve just been with Del Water Gap. I also sometimes play with my friend Samia and I did some stuff with her over the summer. In a couple more weeks we go back out west for some more headliner shows. We just did a four-week east coast headlining tour, and then we went out west to open for Jeremy Zucker, which was great. NC: Lately I’ve been playing guitar in Del Water Gap with my buddy Holden. TK: Who have you been playing with lately? ![]() In the past, I’ve sort of just come into studios and kind of just paid for time, but with quarantine, I’ve been able to invest in home-recording gear and do things DIY. It’s great to be able to really spend time getting things right, musically. I’ve been working on a record and recording from my apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The last year, I’ve just been working on music.
