Kali Masi
Earlier this month, Kali Masi played Chop Shop and we caught up with the band before the show. We spoke with singer/guitarist Sam Porter, guitarist/singer Wes Moore and drummer John Garrison, (bassist/singer Anthony Elliot unfortunately couldn’t be present). We talked about the band’s recent touring experiences, including opening for Less Than Jake for several weeks and their current European tour. We also discussed their latest record, Wind Instrument, in regards to how it was written and recorded. The album combines various genres and progressive songwriting to create a sound that’s genuinely distinctive. It also captures their continuing drive to evolve as musicians and push beyond the boundaries of their previous work. In addition, we addressed their plans for the rest of the year, as well as random topics like Simon & Garfunkel, The Lord of the Rings and more.
