The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 110 | Matt Woods

This is Episode 110 and our guest for the second time is Matt Woods. Matt is a singer and songwriter from East Tennessee who earlier this year completed a residence here in central Florida that he called Songs Matter where he and songwriters around the Sunshine State sat down to swap songs and talk about process. Since we last spoke he also released an outstanding EP called Mornings After, which could be my favorite of his wonderful catalog, and a re-release of his debut record the Matt Woods Manifesto which recently celebrated ten years in the world.

Matt was the last Marinade interview we did just before the world shut down from the COVID-19 crisis. That week was my first time meeting him but he treated me like an old friend from day one. Matt Woods is a hell of a songwriter and a kind soul.

The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 109 | Ryan Sollee (The Builders and the Butchers)

The Marinade with Jason Earle, a free-flowing conversation about the creative process, welcomes Ryan Sollee. Ryan is the principal singer and songwriter for The Builders and the Butchers. The Builders and the Butchers came into my life at a very formative time with their debut self-titled record in 2007. I was in my 20s, trying to figure out what adult me would look like- a little angsty, disillusioned yet hopeful, and curious about the world. Ryan Sollee’s tunes seemed to capture what I was feeling. 

All these years later, The Builders and the Butchers have a wonderful new record of foot-stomping anthems called Hell & High Water, which was released on May 6th, 2022. This conversation is such a thrill, y’all.

JW Francis is a singer and songwriter whose latest record Wanderkid comes out on October 1st. While Francis’s home is technically New York, as you will hear in this conversation he is a man of the world. And that is what you get from Wanderkid. A polyphonic record that sounds like New York but feels at home all over the place. We caught up with JW while he was thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Lee Bains III dives head first into The Marinade! Lee and his band the Glory Fires have made the most important record of 2017. Youth Detention: Nail My Feet Down to the Southside of Town is an epic double album that reads like a series of essays on race, class, and our current political situation. 

Lee is also a thoughtful, kind, fascinating person. We caught up at Lil' Indies in Orlando, FL, before his set at Will's Pub and discussed what influenced his poetic lyrics, why college football players should be paid (or maybe not), and how each of us came to appreciate Against Me!. Cheers, y'all.
