The Bad Penny (beta)

Songwriter/producer Charlie Nieland–whose works regularly deal with his emotional, romantic and artistic struggles deserves–miraculously makes his art all that much more enriching for his students, classmates and the land as well. But when The Bad Penny caught word that had become more politically active as of late, we redoubled our efforts to interview him about how American Authoritarianism is already impacting artist communities, whether they know it or not.

Much to our delight, Charlie agreed to take part in The Bad Penny‘s latest episode of our “On Going” series.

Listen to our compelling conversation, become part of the effort to save and strengthen democracy across the world – and pick up Charlie’s latest works, Shame; and the just-released Stories From the Borderlines:

Here’s a taste of a new Charlie track:

Hope over to his Bandcamp page to dig deeper into him.
