SoundCheck: Chris Albert is ok with not being hip enough

Chris Albert will be on Studio Live Friday, October 13, 2023 at noon, followed by Studio Live Social Hour from 6-8 pm at Mother's Brewing.

With his first solo record dropping last year, Chris will play songs from Ain't Hip Enough, which spans genres with something for everyone.

In this interview, Chris joined Jess in the studio to talk about making the record and what it means to not be hip enough.

Jessica Gray Balisle, a Springfield native, grew up listening to KSMU. When she's not wrangling operations and compliance issues, she co-hosts live music show Studio Live and produces arts and culture stories. Jessica plays bass in local band the Hook Knives. She and her husband Todd live with their two cats, Ellie and Jean-Ralphio, and way too many house plants.
