WAM Festival: Riley Pearce

What’s your new single called? Rosie

What’s the song about? My experiences living in Montana for the first five months of this year. It’s mostly about snow.

How long did it take to write/record? It only took a few days to write, then a few days to tweak lyrics. Recording though only took a day, thanks to Andy Lawson who we recorded with.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? I have no idea... I’ll be releasing a new EP mid-2015 but i’m yet to decide the tracklisting. I’m usually more organised than this.

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? All the songs for the next EP will be based around my time in the US. I met a lot of incredible people and visited amazing places like Austin and Seattle.

We’ll like this song if we like... Summer songs about snow.... Vance Joy, Husky

Do you play it differently live? It’s a fun song to play. There’s always a bit of grooving involved.

When and where? 8 Nov, WAM Festival, Universal Bar; 20 Nov, Mojo’s Bar
