Interview with The Ballroom Thieves
We had the pleasure of interviewing The Ballroom Thieves over Zoom video!
While never shying away from topics and ideas they are passionate about, The Ballroom Thieves \u2013 Martin Earley and Calin Peters \u2013 have charmed fans around the country. Their catalog has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, garnered key press (NPR Music, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post) and radio support, and gained a loyal live following, with sold-out shows and festival spots at Boston Calling, Newport Folk, and Calgary Folk.
After a major car accident, the onset of the pandemic, and the departure of a band member, the duo have been learning to roll with the punches. "We were able to step away from a lot of the big three-part harmonies and for the first time we recorded most of the album live. We try to let change inspire us, even when it comes with difficulty.\u201c It\u2019s an artistic statement that doubles as a life mission.
The pair both emphasize that they\u2019ve learned to navigate complicated situations, including their struggles with depression, which often color their songs. If they can impart anything to listeners, it\u2019s that talking about mental health is not a weakness\u2014and that sharing any of life\u2019s trials can be a source of strength.
