Today, the Spotlight shines On musician, songwriter, journalist, and returning guest, Jeff Slate.
Jeff joined us about two years ago and while that discussion was more focused on his work as a writer and cultural observer, this talk focuses on his music career.
Based in New York City, Jeff has traveled quite an interesting road from his roots in the mid-80s post-punk world to rubbing shoulders and working with luminaries like Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Pete Townshend, Roger McGuinn, Jeff Tweedy, Willie Nile, Margo Price, and Sheryl Crow.
Jeff has a new record out, The Last Day of Summer, featuring Dave Stewart, Duff McKagan, Earl Slick, as well as members of Paul Weller’s band and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. The album even boasts photos shot by famed rock photographer Bob Gruen.
It was a real blast getting to know this side of Jeff’s life and work. He’s fun to spend time with and is someone who speaks his mind and who clearly cares. Check out Jeff’s music (links are in the show notes) and enjoy our talk.
(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Jeff Slate’s album The Last Day of Summer)
