Clean Your Ears - Stealing Hearts and Making Jams With Claire Davis & Leo Son of The Q Tip Bandits

I don't have a single ounce of musical talent in my body... so whenever I talk to someone from the music world I am absolutely blown away.

Claire Davis and Leo Son were no exception.

The guitar playing, sultry singing duo are the two leads for a 5-person Boston-based band called the Q Tip Bandits. Claire and Leo met at a recording session early in their stint at Berklee School of Music and immediately hit it off. Slowly but surely they began writing songs together, and before long they had assembled a killer band that was touring Europe, dropping hit singles, and making incredible music videos.

We covered SO much in this episode from how they thinking about the branding of the band, to their process of songwriting, to coordinating local and international tours, to crowdfunding the $14,000 needed for the production of their first album coming later this year. Such an insightful insight into the world of band life with two absolutely delightful humans.

And despite not having a musical bone in my body, I know good music when I hear it and I know their stuff it GOOD. You can listen to  The Q Tip Bandits over on Spotify or keep up with their shows and antics over on Instagram @theqtipbandits
