Dave Rublin of American Authors

"Best Day of My Life" is a song we're sure you've heard. It was written and recorded by American Authors: Zac Barnett (vocals), James Shelley (guitar), Dave Rublin (bass), and Matthew Sanchez (drums). Today we bring you a wonderful conversation with Dave, who also does a lot of the production in the band. We go over the band's beginnings at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, find out how their writing and recording have progressed, and talk about their work with Sound Mind, an organization helping to improve mental health services through music.

American Authors were writing for their first album, Oh, What a Life, in 2012 when the Sandy Hook tragedy happened not far from where they were working. They reacted by making the kind of music that celebrates the best in us - the kind that gives us home for humanity. They followed with What We Live For in 2016 and Seasons in 2019. Their most recent release is the EP Counting Down, which again finds them in tune with positive vibes.

Rublin spoke with us from his living room in his New Jersey apartment.
