Ep. 5: Pop/Rock Band Merlot Embargo

Geoff Gross & Scarlet Biberstein from the pop/rock band Merlot Embargo join us to discuss their debut album Don’t Look Back, the challenges of starting an independent rock band in your mid-30s, songwriting and musicianship, left brain/right brain creativity, Reebok Pumps vs. Air Jordans, and finding the courage to start your dream project in the aftermath of a tragedy. The episode leads out with their track Head Above Water.
