About this episode
Chris Kelly of Hillhaven returns to discuss the band's latest single and their journey over the past year.
On this episode of the podcast, I welcome back Chris Kelly of Hillhaven for his first return appearance since our last conversation. It was great catching up and hearing everything that has happened in the Hillhaven camp over the past year, from new music and music videos to live shows and the continued growth of the band. A big part of our discussion centers around the band's latest single Dead Doesn't Hurt , diving into the creative process behind the track, its themes, and how it fits into the band's evolving sound. Chris shares insight into what inspired the song, how it came together, and why it feels like an important step forward for Hillhaven. Beyond the music, we spend time talking about life updates, the realities of balancing creativity with everything else that comes with being a working musician, and what the future holds for the band. It’s the kind of conversation that feels like catching up with an old friend while also getting a behind-the-scenes look at a band that continues to build momentum. If you've been following Hillhaven or are just discovering them, this is a great episode to jump into.
