BJ Barham of American Aquarium
Manage episode 331022246 series 2857262
Ten years ago BJ Barham and his band American Aquarium were about to call it quits. They'd been touring nationally at small clubs and had seemingly plateaued in their growth as a band. They'd written some new tunes and decided to hop into a studio with Jason Isbell to record what they thought would be their swan song album, Burn. Flicker. Die. It was not.
As BJ describes in this Songfacts Podcast episode, things changed after that album. When I press him on what he thinks happened, he points to writing songs for himself rather than trying to create something he thought listeners might want. Ten years later and American Aquarium is going strong, about to release their latest album, Chicamacomico, and start a massive summer tour with a headlining slot at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.
