JOSH: I’m here with Dan Smith from Listener. Thanks for taking some time today, Dan.
DAN: You bet.
JOSH: Let’s start with The Chariot video, that’s where I kinda first learned who you were. So they asked you to do the song with them. Did you write the part yourself, did they ask you to write a specific thing, how did that turn out?
An interview with Josh Ehrmann after his CD release show at Off Broadway in St. Louis. Filmed and edited by Emily Kathryn Curry. (Contains clips from live performances of “Listen,” “Twenty,” and “Water.”)
JOSH: I’m here with Josh Ehrmann. He’s a musician from the St. Louis area and he just released his first CD today. Tell me about that CD.
JOSH: Well the CD was recorded in Nashville in March and June in a basement studio with Cody Bonnette, who is formerly a member of As Cities Burn. He produced it, and Aaron, who’s also a member of As Cities Burn, played drums on it. So that was really neat. They’re big influences of mine, and to able to have them contribute to some of my ideas and write songs together was really interesting and fun. And my friend Timbre, who plays harp on mewithoutYou records and stuff like that and has her own band, contributed her voice and harp to a few songs. It was really cool. Yeah, five songs.
JOSH: How did you end up getting in touch with Cody?

It’s a pleasure to be speaking with you this evening.
TYLER: Thanks for having me on.
JOSH: Now, I’ve never been to Portland, unfortunately. What can you tell me about your fair city?
TYLER: It is a real place. It is a town filled with beauty, and bridges, and excellent donuts and coffee. We are surrounded by more national forests than anywhere in the entire world.
