Oakland-based singer-songwriter Stephen Steinbrink, one of my favorite artists and a friend to boot, is my guest today. Multi-instrumentalist and frequent co-host Andrew Dorsett is also in on the conversation, accompanying Stephen on piano and steel guitar in the lounge of the ABC House. He has released 14 albums and EPs under his own name and his earlier moniker French Quarter on the labels Holy Page, Western Vinyl, No More Second Chances, Lost Sound Tapes, and Melodic Records. Steinbrink has also recently assumed a producer role for the Bay Area band Boy Scouts. In this interview, we discuss songwriting, collaborations, fun gags on tour, uncomfortable fashion, astrology, plus a special lightning round. This episode was filmed for television and includes live performances and music videos, you can fix yourself some popcorn and watch it here. (Video coming soon, check back later!)

Directed and edited by Andrew Ebright, filmed by Andrew Ebright, Madison Nadine and Miles Rozatti.
