I had the usual amount of nerves that come with interviewing someone I’ve never met in person. However, those nerves disappeared the moment J. Isaiah Evans pulled up to the podcast studio in a brown car. The make and model are irrelevant. The important detail is that it was brown.

You see, I, Travis Wright, have long wanted to buy a car in a sophisticated and timeless brown hue. Knowing that J. Isaiah is also a man of impeccable style, my nerves vanished. It felt like a sign from the universe that this episode was destined for greatness.

J. Isaiah is best known as the frontman of the band 40 Acre Mule and has recently unveiled his solo project, J. Isaiah Evans & The Boss Tweed. With a new record coming out on July 11th, he was kind enough to sit down and talk music.

Be sure to check out the release show at The Kessler Theater in Dallas on Saturday, July 19th. Enjoy!
