Big Ideas Welcome
Hippies, Cowboys, and Kitchen Tables with Cruz Contreras
Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer Cruz Contreras joins Chris McAdoo this week on the Big Ideas Welcome podcast.
Cruz is the founder and frontman of The Black Lillies, co-founder of Robinella and the CCstringband, and has collaborated with musicians ranging from John Oates and Jim Lauderdale to Langhorne Slim and The Turnpike Troubadours. His projects have topped both the Billboard and Americana radio charts, won Independent Music Awards, and been nominated for the Americana Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year award. Contreras is working on his debut solo album, ‘Cosmico’, which will be released this summer.
In this episode, Chris and Cruz discuss the transformation that has happened to Cruz both personally and professionally over the past few years, his early roots with music, the sense of "humanity" that music creates, the energy that comes from being around other creatives, talent vs. skill, getting back to the thing that you love, and what the future looks like for Cruz.
