Luke Storey | Writing a Viral Protest Song @LukeStorey | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
I’m excited to jam both figuratively and literally with one of my new favorite artists, Brad Skistimas, aka Five Times August (@FiveTimesAugust). Brad’s unique, truth-forward approach to music and songwriting is one I’m particularly drawn to.
What sets Brad apart is his fearless dive into protest music during the COVID era – with powerful tracks like the viral “Sad Little Man”.
In this episode, Brad shares his unique approach to songwriting and recording, which sets him apart in the music industry, and gives us a live performance of Ain't No Rock And Roll.
We explore the cultural shifts in rock and roll, examining why the genre – once a symbol of counterculture – has seemingly aligned with harmful mainstream narratives.
Brad opens up about the importance of artists speaking truth to power and the potential redemption for those who supported controversial vaccine campaigns.
He also delves into his spiritual journey and how it influences his music, from finding a resonant church community to integrating his beliefs into his lyrics.
Brad’s perspective on reconnecting with authenticity and diversity in the arts offers hope and inspiration. Get ready to explore the evolution of an artist who’s unafraid to speak his truth and challenge the status quo.
