In our interview with Nick Spear and Susan O’Dea, Taylor Inman dives into the duo's journey - who formed Big Sky City Lights born from the unexpected circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. With one member in New York City and the other in Whitefish, Montana, the duo began collaborating remotely, creating cover songs that resonated deeply with their growing audience. Their music, characterized by a blend of distinct cultural influences and creative perseverance, showcases the beauty that can emerge from challenges. We explore how they navigated the distance, their creative process, and the serendipitous success of their first album.
Big Sky City Lights perform live on our press room floor for a lunchtime show on Friday, September 13th, 2024.
