148: Nick Dittmeier

On Episode 148, I'm joined by Southern Indiana singer-songwriter Nick Dittmeier. I was joined by Dittmeier a little before Christmas for a conversation about his Indiana meets Western Kentucky roots and how those blue-collar characters have long been a touchstone in his storytelling and songs. In the past few years, Dittmeier has released the alt-country rocking All Damn Day of 2018, the strong, introspective four-song EP Companion, and the intimate live EP Alive from a Barbershop in Southern Indiana.

During this one, we talk about his songwriting catalog, creating during 2020, writing on the road and focusing on projects, Southern Indiana, Heartland vs Appalachia, college sports, Indiana coaching legend (and one time Texas Tech coach) Bob Knight, and what he has planned for 2021.

This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
