It has been five years since we last spoke to Niki Beverly of BEV. A lot has happened since then, to the world and to Niki. It was great to catch up and hear all about her upcoming album, Expectations, about assumptions, expectations, and restrictions that the world can put on us. Some songs are very personal and joyous, some lean toward social commentary and I’m here for it all!
You can hear the whole band play the album release show on Nov 6 at Cloudland with Catbath and American Cream Band.
Our theme this week was farming. You can check out the songs we played below or our aspirational playlist on Spotify. Also nice to be back with Langen Goldstien (Girl at the Rock Shows) in studio!
