Fantastival Podcast - #123 Matthew Hickman (Brownbear)

What an honour it is to bring you The Fantastival Podcast #123 with my biggest musical find of 2023 (yes I know he’s been around for longer than that, but it’s taken a while) as this weeks guest is the brilliant Matthew Hickman from Brownbear… Matt will be telling stories only for you about the fantastic new Brownbear album ‘Demons’, how Brownbear got started, his musical tastes and influences, the puppet who has appeared in various videos and the ideas behind it, the incredible debut album from Brownbear ‘What Is Home?’ (which has to be my most listened album of 2023 to date), his thoughts and learning on the music industry, the importance of the song which should be at the heart of everything and loads more whilst also collating his amazing Fantasy Festival lineup with a spectacular encore in a very insightful interview with a top talent and one to watch out for.
