Here s the deal…
Early on Afie Jurvanen decided if he was going to make music – his name was
going to get in the way.
So he inherited a character name – Bahamas – because everyone knew that
name and how to say it.
As of Friday Afie is now 5 albums into a very successful career.
At about the halfway point in this interview, Afie says something that
really stops me.
He basically says
“I try and work with people who are a little out of my league. So I have
to work a little bit harder and faster.”
Just for the record – Afie has worked with
The Lumineers, Feist, Howie Beck. , Jason Collett, Jack Johnson, Robbie
Robertson and more.
The album is called Sad Hunk. The cover is a shot of Afie as if he were a
80’s crooner.
I love his view of himself…it shows in the songs and lyrics.
And his sound is unique to himself. Close harmonies have a horn section
feel them. With a layer of funk beneath the wordplay.
