Welcome back to Scribbles & Spills, the podcast where creatives of all kinds expound on their art and spill their secrets.TC Folkpunk began playing in bars when he was only seventeen, but tall enough to lie about his age. He’s released a plethora of albums and played hundreds of gigs. In 2015, he added the titles Film Composer and Actor to his resume when the Canadian indie comedy Love in the Sixth premiered at the Whistler Film Festival. Its sequel Stupid for You has premiered on the festival circuit. His latest album Breakfast in Bedlam was recorded, mixed and mastered in his Toronto apartment. In this episode, TC and I discuss the call to music, creativity as a coping mechanism, and the DIY spirit! TC Folkpunk Links: https://tcfolkpunk.bandcamp.com/album/breakfast-in-bedlamhttps://tcfolkpunk.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/tcfolkpunk/https://twitter.com/tcfolkpunk
