For years, Georgia's A.W. would write, record and play music in their bedroom; completely unaware of the impact their songs and albums were having on the world outside. The magic of the internet meant their unique, earnest and catchy music was heard across the world; and it's brought her a surefire cult fanbase along the way. In May, A.W. and their backing band toured Australia for the very first time in support of lifetime friends of the show The Smith Street Band. We were able to steal A.W. away for a hot minute before they took to the stage of the Enmore Theatre. With the precious time we had, we talked shop on MySpace days, getting in on the early days of crowdfunding and how A.W. was into Plain White T's BEFORE it was cool. (It was never cool.) 
NOTE: This podcast was recorded before A.W. had come out as non-binary and changed their name. As such, it features feminine pronouns and their previous name.A.W.'s single, "Runaway," is out now.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
