How Sparkle Carcass’s Cody Palmer and his wife Reilly Downes, balance being in each other’s bands

The latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is live! Sparkle Carcass’s Cody Palmer joins us to talk everything from Jock Jams to eavesdropping on new moms.

His band dropped a brand new album Friday called Maraschino Chevy which we love. One member of Sparkle Carcass in addition to Cody is his wife Reilly Downes. She also has a band, of which he is a member and contributor. So we asked him how they balance it all.

Frank and Falls also share picks of the week in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment, and for some reason, we hear a little bit about Falls’s feet. (It’s not as bad as you might imagine.)

Sparkle Carcass’s Cody Palmer says a musical mom wasn’t always an ideal influence

Roots Music Rambler’s latest episode is well worth the time. We sit down with Cody Palmer from Sparkle Carcass. The Chicago-based alt-country band has a brand new album (just dropped yesterday) called Maraschino Chevy that we already love.

Cody talked to us about the band, collaborating with bandmate, wife and leader of her own band (which he’s in) Reilly Downs; songwriting; musical influences and, of course, his Mom. He said his mother’s musical talent wasn’t always a welcome influence.

Frank and Falls also share our picks for new music this week and Falls shares a social media story that crystallized his purpose in the music world. Well worth a watch or listen!
