About this episode
Shane McCord and Mikey Powers discuss their collaborative music journey, songwriting process, and inspirations from nature.
Shane McCord and Mikey Powers have played music together since they were kids. Sham songs usually start as guitar duets and incorporate layers of vocals, piano, bowed strings, wind instruments and field recordings. We talked about their songwriting process and being inspired by music and nature. We also wax philosophical on the Turquoise State of Being.
