<p>Ken Coomer joins me on the podcast today. Ken is a fantastic drummer, producer, and studio owner, as well as one of the few musicians I know that is actually from Nashville! Ken is well-known as the original drummer for Wilco, as well as the last for Uncle Tupelo, bands that literally defined the alt-country genre in the mid-90’s. But before that, Ken came up in the punk and alternative rock scene here in Nashville with his band Clockhammer, and since leaving Wilco in 2002, he has had an incredible career as a studio drummer and producer, operating most recently out of his studio just a few blocks away from me in East Nashville called Cartoon Moon Recording. Ken was heavily involved in the recording of Uncle Tupelo’s classic “Anodyne”, as well as the Wilco albums “FM”, “Being There”, “Summerteeth”, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” and the “Mermaid Avenue” projects with Wilco and Billy Bragg. After his run with Wilco, Ken returned to Nashville to try his hand at session work and producing. He’s played with and recorded on albums for Steve Earle, Will Hoge, Al Green, Tim Finn, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris and many more. He’s also had an incredible run producing some huge Spanish artists, which is an intriguing left-turn that his more recent career has taken, with artists like Chetes, and AppleTree - albums that were huge in Mexico and Columbia.</p><p>It was great to have Ken drop in to speak about all of this amazing history.

<p>On the show today is singer, songwriter, fiddle player and now producer, Maya DeVitry. Maya is an incredible musician and someone I’ve been lucky enough to be involved with in a number of projects with over the last few years. Originally from Pennsylvania, Maya is known by some for her work with her old band, The Stray Birds, and some from her more recent solo recordings and touring. She has released 4 solo albums since 2019 and the latest is an amazing album that she self-produced, called “The Only Moment” which came out late last year. She has an incredibly powerful and expressive voice and has worked hard at developing her unique delivery, along with her exceptional songwriting skills. Maya spent a good deal of time emersing herself in bluegrass music as a youngster and became an accomplished fiddle player, which led her to studying at Berklee, but while there, veered more into the world of songwriting and that has been her focus ever since. While The Stray Birds were an excellent vehicle for her to begin her career, it wasn’t until she left the band that she really came into her own as a performer and writer. It’s an interesting story and it was great to get a chance to talk to her about it, how she took the plunge into finally embracing a solo career, making her latest record, and how she’s navigating a hefty touring schedule on top of also now producing records for other artists.</p><p>You can get all the latest info and her tour dates at <a href="http://mayadevitry.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mayadevitry.com</a> - Enjoy my conversation with Maya DeVitry!</p><br><p>This season is brought to you by our sponsors <a href="https://www.larrivee.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Larivée Guitars</a> and <a href="https://www.fishman.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fishman Amplification</a></p><p>You can <a href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/343524" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">join our Patreon here</a> to get all episodes ad-free, as well as access to all early episodes.</p><p>Visit us at: <a href="https://www.makersandshakerspodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.makersandshakerspodcast.com</a></p> <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/343524">Get ad-free episodes and access to all early episodes by subscribing to Patreon.</a><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
