Episode 16: Erik Stolpe
1h 56m | Oct 30, 2023Hi, welcome to “As an Artist.” A Local Famous Records podcast about local artists, their art, the creative process and the local scene. My name is Anthony Sosa and thank you for joining us. On this episode we have my long-time friend, comrade, compatriot, collaborator and often times mentor, Erik Stolpe. Erik and I met in 2003 before I joined his band Silverlode and before we founded The Raven Charter in 2005. Erik is an amazing musician who is very thoughtful about his creative process and how music has impacted his life. We discuss Erik’s musical upbringing and influences as well as our time together in The Raven Charter. We get into his sobriety and how that has impacted his life and his art. And we talk about his current musical endeavors including his LFR solo project Brain in a Jar. I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too.
After the podcast are the songs "A Herd Mentality" by Brain in a Jar and “We Know You Will” by The Raven Charter.
