Feeling Small Shares The Room Acts Small

This past Friday our friend Chase Weinacht, who currently is operating under his Feeling Small moniker, released another great single. His wordplay is perfect, and in a strange way, reminded me of the first time I listened to John K. Sampson. But, when I read through the credits, the song also encompasses one of the reasons I’ve really been digging his solo work…the community. This track features local Austin artists like Grace Rowland, Andrew Stevens and Santiago Dietche, all artists we’ve written about, but more importantly, all artists who are part of the lifeblood of the last decade plus of Austin music. It shows a level of trust in friends and in collaborators, which I know Chase values, so that makes me value him and his work all the more. Just listen already.
