In Studio: Jed LaPlant

Grand Rapids musician, Jed LaPlant, is out with a new album now, I'll See You Again. His first release, the lyrics throughout are heartfelt, authentic and also otherworldly, the production is spare but rich, and in spite of only singing for the past 4 years, the vocals are on point. 

He sat down with us and was ready to speak candidly about creating this album, losing his father, Don LaPlant, taking a road trip out west, and finding his voice. Listen to the interview below.

Songs included: 'This Lonely Road', 'When I Was Younger'
