I sat down with Nik Barker for a long-form conversation about music, creativity, education, and the experiences that shaped him as a musician.
We get into Ashen Skies, songwriting, the realities of building a life around music, teaching the next generation, and the lessons that only come from years of actually doing the work.
This was one of those conversations that could have gone on for hours.
If you’re a musician, teacher, songwriter, or just someone who loves hearing artists talk openly about their craft, there’s a lot in this one.
