Episode: Episode 214 with Eric McMyermick (Caravan Discordia): All The Things I Think Are Cool, Let's Squeeze 'em Into One Song
Description: In this episode, we talk with rad accordion maestro Eric McMyermick of the Kentucky based band Caravan Discordia about the trials of selling oneself as an accordion player, getting shows on interesting bills, art and performance, boredom as a motivator, and the lack of frame of reference for accordion players. Plus, playing outside of one's comfort zone, Kentucky as an influence, vocals as an instrument, and making a living as an independent musician.
