Lovely to conduct an interview with acoustic guitar virtuoso Derek Gripper. It’s full of insights about the value of music, artistic purpose, philosophy, and incendiary views on whether or not we still have a music biz in 2025 or if it’s now little more than a tech bro oligarchist scam. Coming soon.
