Back in April I recorded this conversation with The Ain’t Sisters live at the Florida Americana Music Festival. It was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time. I got to share my original songs, soak up some incredible performances, and record interviews from my camp, thanks to Foggy Longbritches and their generous hospitality.This conversation with Barb and Arrie was one of my favorites. They had just played a set the night before and were gearing up for another, but they made time to sit with me and talk about their new double vinyl album Atomic. We talked about their songwriting process, how some songs took decades to come to life, and how they ended up trademarking the phrase “Shake Your Taint.” We also talked about grief, growth, DIY touring, and what it takes to keep a band growing. If you were at the festival, you know how special it was. If you weren’t, I hope this episode paints a vivid picture of our experience there. You can also check out the Florida Americana Music Festival YouTube channel for a bunch of videos and more interviews that our team captured all weekend long.

About The Ain’t Sisters:
The Ain’t Sisters are a genre-bending, harmony-driven band from Atlanta.They combine folk, funk, punk, and soul with sharp wit and raw honesty. Their new double vinyl Atomic is a journey through grief, joy, chaos, and creation!  and I’m so honored they shared the story with me.
