Zaq Baker
is a musician and author and we got to talk to him about both endeavors today. Zaq is a delight and a great storyteller with a keen eye for detail and work ethic that you’d need to work on writing (and playing) music, novels and a musical! We talked about his debut novel,
Unspectacular
. It’s an interesting look at family and community through the lens of the music industry. Very fun to learn more about the process of writing the book.
We also checked out a few of his songs – including the most recent release, bri, which he wrote about love. I was delighted to have Langen Goldstien (
Girl at the Rock Shows
) cohost!
Big thanks to folks who sent us requests and recommendations for MN songs about hospitality. Check out the songs we played below or our aspirational playlist on
Spotify.
