Tiny Habits on James Taylor, Tour Stories and 70s Vocal Production 🎸

Indie-folk trio Tiny Habits (Judah Mayowa, Maya Rae and Cinya Khan) join host Adam Unze for the mini-season finale of The Spark Parade!

The group shares the story behind their Spark: James Taylor’s 1976 classic album, In the Pocket, featuring iconic tracks like "Shower the People" and "Woman’s Gotta Have It".

Together, Adam and Tiny Habits break down:

• What it was like spending a summer touring with James Taylor and listening to his music on his tour plane
• The hilarious (and surprisingly candid) career advice James gave them about record labels
• The warm analogue sonics, tape hiss and vocal arrangements of 1970s studio production
• How James Taylor's vocal phrasing directly inspired the arrangements on their debut album All Is Yes
• The emotional power of music that connects across generations

Check out Tiny Habits' fantastic new sophomore album Keepers!
