11. Kelly Pratt

In the third of their transatlantic trilogy, Seb and Verity chat to composer, arranger and multi instrumentalist Kelly Pratt.

Kelly talks touring and orchestrating for David Byrne and St. Vincent, Beirut and Father John Misty. They chat about favourite festivals (remember them?!) and great venues. 

Verity tries to get Kelly to dish the dirt on the different character traits of musicians around the world whilst he tries to remain diplomatic.

Kelly talks about his solo projects, including a homage of sorts to a much derided album from his childhood... Jimmy Buffett’s "Songs You Know By Heart". One of the tracks is entitled "Cheeseburger in Paradise". Nuff said.

Kelly offers some excellent advice on composing for film and TV and he gives some great suggestions for the Three In a Bar Spotify playlist. Click the link below to listen.
