Alice Stuart (Crossover W/ Low Profile)

Season 3 · Episode 14

Thursday, March 25, 2021 • Duration 01:01:43

Markly Morrison of the podcast, Low Profile asked me to fill in for an episode while he took a little time off with his newborn. Low profile is a long form music interview podcast and radio show based here in Olympia, WA. Markly is also the guy behind Skrill Meadow, the band that provides the ending theme music for Welcome To Olympia

On this episode I had the honor of interviewing the fantastic folk rock artist, Alice Stuart who happens to live here in Olympia. Alice was born in Chelan, WA. She’s had a long career which started in the folk scene of early 60’s Seattle. She’s been all over the world with her music, playing with countless artists including Mississippi John Hurt, Van Morrison, Judy Collins, John Prine and Frank Zappa to name just a few. She’s full of stories.

If you can’t get enough OLY beer history you should check out Megan Ockerman’s research and writing on The Olympia Brewing Company http://www.dissertations.wsu.edu/Thesis/Spring2017/m_ockerman_051717.pdf Megan says the story about Schmidt’s pivotal visit to the barbershop may be apocryphal. She has a book on the Olympia Brewing Company coming out soon.

For the audio nerds: I had a second mic set up 100 feet away using a limiter and a low input to catch the whistle blast at the golf course. I wish I had set the input even lower.
