There are some artists who just keep getting better, and Rob Tait is one of them. In this episode, we dive into the making of At the End of the World, his gorgeously raw solo album, and his collaborative journey with the soul-rock band Cordelia Blue. We swap stories about songwriting, being a drummer who sings, the Philly music grind, and what it really takes to build a sustainable career in music today. If you’ve ever wrestled with balancing honesty and ambition, or wondered how to create something timeless, this one’s for you.

• Why honesty beats perfection, every time
