My Favourite Elliott Smith Song S1 Ep23: Aaron Embry
Our guest for episode 23 is Aaron Embry.
Aaron is a musician who played in Elliott Smith's band during the Figure 8 tour in 2000. They played many shows together across Europe and the US, with Aaron on keys and long-time Elliott collaborators Sam Coomes (from Quasi) and Scott McPherson on bass and drums respectively.
In this interview with Elizabeth Withstandley, Aaron talks through his personal connection to his favourite song pick and shares some stories of life on the road with Elliott.
Hope you enjoy it.
