Author: Markly Morrison November 11, 2022 Duration: 54:54
Oakland-based singer-songwriter Stephen Steinbrink, one of my favorite artists and a friend to boot, is my guest today.  Multi-instrumentalist and frequent co-host Andrew Dorsett is also in on the conversation, accompanying Stephen on piano and steel guitar in the Lounge of the ABC House.  He has released 14 albums and EPs under his own name and his earlier moniker French Quarter on the labels Holy Page, Western Vinyl, No More Second Chances, Lost Sound Tapes, and Melodic Records.  Steinbrink has also recently assumed a producer role for the Bay Area band Boy Scouts.  In this interview, we discuss songwriting, collaborations, fun gags on tour, uncomfortable fashion, astrology, plus a special lightning round.  This episode was filmed for television and includes live performances and music videos, you can fix yourself some popcorn and watch it at lowprofilepodcast.comArtwork for this episode by Lani MorrisonDirected and engineered by Andrew EbrightEdited by Markly MorrisonCameras by Andrew Ebright, Miles Rozatti and Madison Nadine. This podcast is supported by listeners like you at patreon.com/lowprofileLow Profile recieves in-kind support from these independent Olympia businesses:San Francisco Street Bakery, Schwartz's Deli, Rainy Day Records, Old School Pizzeria, and Scherler Easy Premium Shitty American Lager from Three Magnets Brewing Company.

There’s a whole world of essential music made by people who never became household names. Low Profile with Markly Morrison seeks out those artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures, blending their stories with the music they created. Host Markly Morrison, an audio journalist and musician based in Olympia, Washington, approaches these conversations as oral history-less about fame and more about the craft, the context, and the often overlooked contributions that shaped sounds we love. You’ll hear intimate, detailed interviews that pull back the curtain on influential work, paired with the tracks that define these careers. The show originates as a radio program on KAOS 89.3 FM but finds its enduring home as a podcast distributed by Ruinous Media, allowing these deep-dive stories to be savored anytime. Each episode is a chance to discover not just new music, but the rich human experiences behind it, focusing on the genuine artistry that exists far from the glare of the mainstream spotlight. This podcast is for anyone who believes the most compelling stories in music are often the ones you haven’t heard yet.
