Hi folks and welcome to episode 7 of the podcast you join us here on a very

brisk February morning and I'm currently shivering like Bert Lancaster at the

end of the swimmer so cold we actually keep it that way on purpose here at So the Jerker HQ because Brian doesn't

like to sweat on Mike. Yeah, I'm the David Letterman of podcasting. I just feel sorry for Mike,

whoever he is. But a mch.

So what's coming up on the show today Brian?

Well today we've got Seattle-based singer-songwriter, vocalist and keyboardist Sean Smith.

Before we introduce Sean though, just a quick update from us on how

our new tracks are coming along. Yeah we've recently been working on two songs called

Mink Condition and Talk at the Town and we had two great singers come in and perform on those songs for us.

That was Rachel Wood on Mint Condition and Mark Kenny on Talk of the Town and they did a great job.

We've now done the editing on those tracks and we'll have them to you shortly.

So when we foist them upon you, we expect you'll check them out and please, you know,

feel free to share them with people and let people know that they've been posted.

We'd also like to say thanks for everyone checking out the Barry Man and Cynthia Weil episode.

It was a real pleasure having two great songwriters like that on the show.

And we'd like to thank them as well for their part in promoting the

episodes they've been really active on Twitter and they've been retweeting it

and plugging it and letting their fans know about it so that's much

appreciated and as a result we ended up with a feature on iTunes. We've been plucked from obscurity by the Apple people and they've given us a bit of a showcase there so that was great and we really appreciate spreading the word to new people so if you're checking out the show for the first time today

then welcome and you know we hope you enjoy listening to it.

So back to our guest for this episode with the band Brad Sean Smith has given us albums like Shame, Interiors,
