WTTS In Conversation – Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses
‘WTTS In Conversation’ is a bi-weekly podcast delivering decades of WTTS interviews with music legends and emerging artists.
For Episode #37, Band of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell talks to morning host Matt Pelsor about the various inspirations for the new album Things are Great; breakups, both personal and within the band, as well as musical inspiration from a hotel room in Iceland. He shares on their decision to produce the record internally, and on his appreciation for being able to play out again; as well as why he’s looking forward to come to Indy specifically.
Band of Horses play with Black Keys July 16th at Ruoff Music Center.

Bonnaroo ’10 — Steve Martin, Flaming Lips, Franti & More
I’ll just come out and say it right now – I had my single coolest Bonnaroo moment ever last night. I think the picture says it all.
Maybe the Greatest Moment of Brad's Life
Yep, I know what you’re thinking – there are two wild and crazy guys…
Steve has a wonderful project called Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers and the band put on a wonderful performance last night. I wandered backstage about a half hour before they were supposed to go on, and there they are, just warming up. Steve Martin was an absolute gentleman. He seemed a bit shy and reserved, but again, a total gentleman to any jerk (no pun intended) who came up asking for a photo. One of those magical Bonnaroo moments that will last a lifetime.
Other musical highlights from the evening: checking out Black Keys and Tori Amos from backstage, a high-energy performance from Michael Franti & Spearhead, and seeing The National perform.
We’ve posted more photos here.
Tune in to WTTS today from 12pm-6pm for live updates from backstage at Bonnaroo – and keep checking back here at our online Blogaroo for more updates, photos, artist interviews and more.
