Phil Madeira on expanding horizons (Part 1of 2)
Episode 21 –Phil Madeira, Part One
He’s been a go-to side-man for too many A-listers to count, and is currently a member of Emmylou Harris’ Red Dirt Boys – and when he’s not in the studio or on the road with any number of amazing Americana, country, blues, or rock artists, he’s writing songs and recording his own albums or collaborating and producing acclaimed compilation projects. In Part One of this two-part deep dive into the life and work of multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and artist, Phil Madeira, we learn about this musical polymath’s roots and evolution. No one tells a story like Madeira! Along the way, you’ll hear examples of his music, cuts he wrote for other artists, examples of his production work, and just a handful of the hundreds and hundreds of tracks made so much cooler by the presence of his B3, lap-steel, or other instruments of soul.
In Part Two, we wrap up this wide-ranging conversation and listen through Madeira’s most recent solo work, including his brand new project, Hornet’s Nest. Born from conflict, pain, and loss, these beautiful songs could only have been crafted by someone who has been there and back and lived to tell about it. (Click HERE for PART 2)
