It was so great to catch up with Kalen Baker, the frontman of the band Poltergeist on everything going on with the band. Kalen has had an incredible journey so far as a musician and is proof that never giving up on your dreams is the key. We discuss Kalen's musical journey from his early days of playing shows as a teenager to his current role in multiple bands. We touch on changes in the music industry, his journey through playing, recording, songwriting and producing. And we also spend some time talking about the importance of family support. Kalen shares insights on creative freedom, the dynamics of being in a band, and the realities of ticket pricing in the music scene. Ashley  and Kalen discuss the importance of art and artists in society, the evolving vinyl industry, and the perception of local bands.

You can pick up Poltergeist’s album “Nachtmusik” on Bandcamp and keep your eyes peeled for them heading out on tour!
