​Today, we have a special guest, Brad Skistimas from Five Times August. In this episode, we discuss the importance of using art to express social issues and why some musicians are no longer doing so. Brad shares his unique perspective as an independent artist who has never been tied to a major record label or had management and PR guys telling him what to say or how to dress. We also touch on the critical role of paying attention to what's happening in our world and standing up for those whose voices aren't being heard. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about music and art with Brad Skistimas!
