Show Notes

"How do you stop a good guy with a gun?"

This poignant question concludes the chorus of Chris J. Norwood's brand new single off of his forthcoming album, I Am Not Cool.  In "Good Guy with a Gun," Chris tells the deceptively simple story of a gun owner who followed all of the rules, lived as a family man, and still met an untimely demise. In this conversation, Emmeline and Chris talk about telling one's story through music, how songs can give each of us better perspective and deeper empathy, and how music has the potential to start important social conversations. Chris also talks about diving deeply into difficult topics, his desire to connect with listeners through the stories he tells, and how his "day job" as a commercial writer influences his approach to songwriting.
