About this episode

A conversation with Nick and Dawson of The Props about their journey, new EP, and growth as artists.

On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Nick and Dawson of The Props for a conversation about a big moment in the band’s journey and the work that led up to it. We talk about the band signing with Blue Grape Music , what that partnership means for them moving forward, and how it opens the door for the next stage of their growth as artists. A big part of the discussion centers around their upcoming EP ARROW , including how the songs came together and what fans can expect from this new chapter. Nick and Dawson share insight into how their sound has developed over time, the influences that helped shape it, and how the band worked to refine their identity while writing and recording the project. There is a real sense of intention behind the music, and that comes through as they talk about the creative decisions that helped define this release. We also dive into life on the road, the realities of touring as a developing band, and how performing live continues to shape the way they approach songwriting. From the early days of figuring things out to the momentum they are building now, it is a conversation about growth, persistence, and finding your lane in a crowded music scene…
