More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Spencer Chamberlain of Underoath, nothing,nowhere., and AFROJACK, Ben Kweller will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
From his early days with neo-grunge band Radish to an impressive solo career, Kweller has constantly been shaped by music — and laid his heart bare in his songwriting. That’s never been truer on his latest album, Cover the Mirrors, a striking reckoning with grief after Kweller lost his 16-year-old son Dorian Zev Kweller in a car accident. In a conversation with Madden, Kweller opens up about his life in Texas, touring with Ed Sheeran, the tragic death of his teenage son, and how it influenced his new record, out this Friday (May 30).
