This is Rommel strip America Heilman.

Oh my gosh, classic one lane Vermont bridge.

Here we are.

A covered bridge, it's a covered bridge here in Vermont.

This is my first one.

Oh, hello.

I love you.

Oh, never got. Hello I love you. I've never gotten to make out one of those. That's Amelia Meath. We were driving around Vermont on a hot day last week before her show, the last show of her month-long tour.

Amelia is one half of the band Sylvan Eso, Nick Sanborn is the other half.

Their music is incredibly fun, bent, smart, and they can turn the end of the world into a dance party.

I talked with them the last time they were in town, which I think was a year and a half ago.

They were playing at a big venue in Vermont, and this time they were playing at a much bigger venue in Vermont

And since I saw them last I think it's fair to say they've gotten wicked famous

Which I figure must be a really strange thing to be.

We drove around and talked in the car and then we sat on a public beach on Lake Champlain and talked some more.

And I asked her about what it's like to be famous, which is one of those things like money that you're really not supposed to talk about

but I wanted to know what it feels like and how fame affects her life and her

friendships and also we talked about other things and the thing about both Emilia and Nick is that they're

really generous and open people. You can feel that when you watch them play and it's

part of what makes them so good. Anyway, here's a show. It's driving around with Amelia and it's lots of great music.

And there's some swearing. Welcome.

Little bird and making car alarm sounds in a tree next to your hearts.
