(matttheelectrician.com)\n\nI first became aware of Matt in college when a friend of mine was playing his clawhammer banjo cover of "Osaka In The Rain." I was stopped in my tracks by the song and when my buddy told me who the original artist was, I became an instant fan.\n\nFor young songwriters, this is a great episode to listen to! Matt really digs in to his thoughts on the craft and how he goes about construct ing songs.\n\nIf you enjoy the podcast, please let others know, subscribe, or write a review!\n\nIF YOU'D LIKE TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST IN A MONETARY WAY, I'M NOW ON PATREON!
