Description

The 100th Episode excitement might be fading in the rearview, but not to worry (because no one likes a worrier... you’ll get that joke in a minute), we’re talking to Al Olender on Season 04, Episode 06 of “Load-In Through the Back”!

Wielding a box of Kleenex and a narrative voice that is both conversation and confession, Al Olender is quickly rising to the forefront of the indie folk movement. Her second full-length album, “The Worrier”, dropped February 13th, and is a collection of mature, meticulously crafted tunes on the subjects of love, grief, and the human condition. 

This is not an interview, it’s a joyous back-and-forth conversation. 

Al joins us to discuss the new LP, her extensive upcoming tour, busted merch, Chappell Roan’s iconic (?) GRAMMY dress, the Baltimore Public School System, the importance of keeping authenticity at the center of your art, and much more.
