I saw Konrad live for the first time in 2015 at a Folk-Rock fest in Long Beach, CA and he absolutely destroyed and I’ve been a fan ever since. We talk about his dual lifestyle as a teacher and musician, the connection between virtual gigs, his fiddle skills, being on the road with a family, a broken down van in NJ, Pizza, his album There Will Be Nights When I’m Lonely, as well as his latest album As We Go Wandering! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for listening. If you can please remember to like, subscribe, and review the podcast to help keep us going!
