Adventures in Americana presents Smouse in the House
Music journalist and photographer Tom Smouse interviews a different Americana act--either local or just passing through--in each episode of this Twin Cities-based podcast. Whether it's in their home or in a local venue, Smouse chats with musicians about songwriting and more in the spaces they live, create and perform. Every episode also features two songs by the artists that are brand new, recent or special to them. This series was conceived and co-produced by Smouse with Jaclyn Nott and Carol Roth of Adventures in Americana. Intro/outro music is by Minneapolis artist Ellkaye (aka Lila Karash).

When a musician walks up to your car asking to help carry stuff in, then you know it’s going to be a very personable conversation. There’s no lack of charisma in Minneapolis singer-songwriter Jack Klatt, and it feels very natural, as is his ability to explain his writing process and how location—and the journey to each place—strongly influences his music. It makes perfect sense from someone who has explored the world from a young age and consistently uproots his routine to find creative gold in everything he releases—which has spanned the breadth of the Americana diaspora, including folk, blues, rock, rockabilly, R&B, and arcane country.
