Episode 52 is a conversation with brilliant Olympia-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Peter David Connelly aka The Mona Reels. His new album ‘Without Love’ is collection of songs that sound like classics you’ve loved all your life but are hearing for the first time. I just love it.
We talk about the album and the creative process, we get into his history, arriving in Olympia in the early 90’s as a tween from Ellensberg, Wa. As a teen, he rejected the bustling local scene in favor of the ‘grunge’ from up I-5. It wasn’t until a decade later after he embraced the Olympia community that the community embraced him and he began to release music and play in other bands, like KRS artists, Bangs.
It’s a great conversation between two old friends.
