George Ezra has launched a brand new podcast.
George Ezra & Friends does pretty much what it says on the tin, featuring George having a chat with a different pal each episode.
The first is available from today (Monday 12th February), and it’s a big ‘un, with George getting up close and personal with Ed Sheeran. Check it out here.
Future episodes will include Craig David, Rag’n’Bone Man, London Grammar’s Hannah Reid, Ben Thatcher of Royal Blood and many more.
George says of his new venture:
“Had it not been for the introduction of podcasts into my life, my second album could well have been ready six months sooner. Who knows, maybe even seven. The world of podcasts has been an extremely welcome and comforting distraction from reality. Listening to interesting people talk to other interesting people about interesting things. New ideas, old ideas, thinkers and dreamers.
“A lot of the shows I enjoy are comedians talking to other comedians, candid accounts of their experiences in the industry they work in. I find them inspiring and often relieving. To hear entertainers, talk so openly about the highs and the lows of performance feels like something that hasn’t really happened before and, personally, as a performer, it’s something that really helps me.
“I began looking for musical equivalents: honest, long form conversations between two musicians, the unquestionable highs of creating and performing, alongside honesty regarding things they have struggled with along the way. At the time of digging, nothing jumped out at me. I sat on the idea for some time before finally plucking up the courage to try and do it myself and went out and purchased the gear necessary for me to travel and record at the drop of a hat.
“So far it has been better than I could have ever imagined. I travel to my guests wherever they may be and it is just the two of us in the room. After the initial ten minutes of chat we both loosen up and start to share stories and experiences from our time on the road.
“What started as a labour of love and somewhat of a passion project is shaping up to be one of the best and fulfilling projects I’ve ever been a part of. I hope you find it as interesting and fun to listen to, as it was to make.”
The former Dork cover star is set to drop new full-length ‘Staying At Tamara’s’ next month, on 23rd March. He’ll be supporting the follow up to debut ‘Wanted On Voyage’ with a run around the globe, too, kicking off the UK leg in Leeds on 29th March, before calling off in Manchester, Edinburgh, Nottingham, London and Birmingham.
