Episode 27 - The Breathing Room // San Francisco-based Band

“Sometimes I think about how lucky I am to be living in San Francisco and how with that fortune comes the added bonus of my creative friend group. For a city that’s supposedly got a “dying” art and music scene ( as defined by people who don’t actually live here ), I’m completely surrounded by a plethora of artists, all of which are just so kind, moral, wildly skilled, and beautifully unique people. My friends in The Breathing Room definitely hit all those marks – and then some. Each member of the band – Tori, Garrett, Sean, and Caleb – are such powerhouse musicians and just an overall solid humans. It’s been so fun watching their band grow, and I’m honored to have helped create some single art for them too. Having them on the pod has been a long time coming, and I’m stoked they finally came through to hang.

In this episode of BEDROOM™, The Breathing Room shares their band origin story, including the moment Tori Leonhardt – one of my favorite musical friends in the city – joined as their drummer. We talk about their shared love of basketball and their take on the current health of San Francisco’s music scene. We get into the nitty-gritty, and I get a little pushy grilling them on why mixing and mastering takes so long. We also dig into the role genre plays in the age of the algorithm. Later, BEDROOM™ alum Nico Peña ( of the band PEÑA ) drops in with a listener-submitted question. The band breaks down their new song “Blue” and how it came to be, shares some of their favorite shows they’ve played, and gives us a glimpse into what’s coming next for The Breathing Room.

Finally, we wrap things up with a round of BEDROOM BANTER™, where I rapid-fire some classic BEDROOM™ questions, and The Breathing Room gives the fans what they want. Big shout-out to The Breathing Room for coming on the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all. WORLDWIDE PEACE.” – PSG
