Margaret Glaspy joins me on the show this week. Her album from last year “Echo The DIamond” was one of my favorite records of the year. Margaret started out as a fiddle player, and played pretty seriously around California as a youngster before dedicating herself to the guitar and eventually going to Berklee for a short time to study. She played around Boston and then moved to New York where she found her way into the creative music scene in Brooklyn in the mid 2000’s. She started making EP’s and then full-legth albums in around 2016. I first heard her “Emotions and Math” LP and was really intrigued by her approach to writing, and especially how she seemed to build intricate, angular guitar parts that would weave through her songs. “Devotion” came next in 2020, and then “Echo The Diamond” in 2023. On “Echo”, her songwriting is incredible, her guitar playing is intense and jagged, the band is stellar (she’s working with Chris Morrissey who has played with Andrew Bird and Ben Kweller, and David King, the drummer for The Bad Plus). It's a co-production with her husband, Julian Lage, and Margaret has also produced several of Julian’s recent releases. She just released a solo acoustic record called “The Sun Doesn’t Think” and we talk about all of these projects here today.Check out all of Margaret’s amazing music and find out where she’s playing over at <a href="http://www.margaretglaspy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">margaretglaspy.com</a> - Enjoy my conversation with Margaret Glaspy!This season is brought to you by our sponsors <a href="https://www.larrivee.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Larivée Guitars</a> and <a href="https://www.fishman.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fishman Amplification</a>You can <a href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/343524" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">join our Patreon here</a> to get all episodes ad-free, as well as access to all early episodesThe show’s website can be found at <a href="https://www.makersandshakerspodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.makersandshakerspodcast.com</a> <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/343524">Get ad-free episodes and access to all early episodes by subscribing to Patreon.</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
