This week Scott is joined by Lee Jennings of The Funeral Portrait. The Funeral Portrait is a four-piece emotional rock outfit hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. Consisting of Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Robert Weston (Bass), and Homer (Drums). The band blends elements of rock and roll, punk rock, and theater all under a blanket of pop sensibility as they paint their stories of love, loss, anger, and grief onto a canvas of skillfully crafted songs.
TFP hit the ground running in late 2014 and since then has shared the stage with: Shinedown, Underoath, Issues, Starset, PVRIS, From Ashes To New, August Burns Red, 10 Years, Palisades, Islander and many more!
Topics touched on in this conversation include not touring during a pandemic, touring with Islander, switching record companies, taking advantage of opportunities, and songwriting.
Additionally, Lee shares his thoughts on making videos, including how they can become a dangerous thing. He also talks about his musical upbringing including the role that musical theater played in his life.
In this discussion, Lee also talks about the importance of maintaining a connection with the fans.
Other topics include working production for bands in Atlanta, poor tattoo jobs, band member changes, and more.
As per usual, Scott walks through the discography of The Funeral Portrait with Lee and gets the story behind the music.
