S2 Ep6: Charlie Campbell (plus Portland Cello Project)

In the sixth episode of this series, we're joined by Charlie Campbell, formerly of Portland band Pond, and Douglas Jenkins from the Portland Cello Project. First up, we hear from Charlie on his favourite song pick, what it was like playing and touring with Elliott during the '90s, and he also mentions one or two regrets he has about the time they spent together. We stick with the Portland theme with Doug, who is the artistic director of the Portland Cello Project. His group are a collective of cellists, who play music you wouldn't typically associate with the instrument and, a few years ago, they released an album called To E.S. featuring six Elliott Smith covers. Doug tells us more about the Project and Elliott's enduring influence in the city. We round this all off with a listener pick from Sara Robertson and a quick update on more Elliott Smith 50th birthday tribute shows.
