Alec and I just happened to go to the same high school, and in our interview I may have dubbed him "most famous person in our class" as a joke. But it's probably the truth as far as either of us are concerned. ๐ฆ๐ธ
His Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/alec_munson) currently features 79 original tracks, including his Sun King EP [70k plays], and the single "Agave" [156k plays]. ๐
His latest release "Attached" will be featured on his freshly polished album Season of the Witch, which goes public tomorrow, 11-1-2018 on Spotify. ๐ฝ
In addition to the album, Alec is throwing a ALBUM RELEASE PARTY this Friday, November 2nd @FullPintWildSide in Lawrenceville. 5310 Butler Street. $5 cover at the door. Everyone's invited. ๐๐

Being someone who struggled (and continues to struggle) with Public Identity, I asked Munson why he decided to stick with his birth name instead of picking a stage name, like "lil Munson" or something equally ridongculous. (3:00)๐
We talked about the publication strategies he and Red 7 have tried, and he shared his favorites -- along with some brief advice for anyone starting out in the music game. (7:20)๐ต๐ฐ
Alec released his first full-length work, Lost Art, over 3 years ago. He describes what has changed in regards to his expectations and aspirations since starting out. (9:00)๐
Towards the end, I tried to figure out where Munson gets his inspiration -- without asking the question "where do you get your inspiration?". But of course, like every good podcaster, I couldn't help myself and kept the cliche alive by asking that exact question. (15:00)๐ค
Listen to Alec's new album, Season of the Witch on Spotify tomorrow! And check out the ALBUM RELEASE PARTY this Friday at Full Pint Wild Side in Lawrenceville. ๐
As always, thanks for listening to THE NOMAD THEORY!๐
Stay Wild Folks,
