It is an honor to host my first in-studio guest at BFF.fm.
Rip Florence is a local freak folk, art punk singer songwriter in the style of Daniel Johnston, Jonathan Richman, Swell Maps, and Beat Happening. He is a collective member at SubRosa community space and was recently announced as an artist-in-residence at Indexical. He is also a very talented friend of mine.
In this episode, we dive into the release of his upcoming project The Days That Never Came,a compilation of orations from previously unhoused individuals, paired with soundscapes from Bay Area musicians.
Enjoy a live in-studio set from Rip, as well as an interview, and tunes to follow.
