Ian Ketterer

This week, I welcome the lead singer of Seattle based Alt-band Among Authors, Ian Ketterer to the Spiritual Spiral Podcast. I met Ian about 8 years ago when I was on tour in the Northwest and I was instantly impressed by Ian's stage presence, his voice and songwriting as well as his down to earth personality.  His band Among Authors is currently on tour during the next few weeks in the midwest and east coast leading up to a show in Washington DC where they play NPR's Tiny Desk Concert.  We talk about music, when he first started playing piano, what it's like on the road, and how amazing it's been to have supportive parents throughout his creative journey.  He tells us why he and the band moved from Wisconsin to Seattle and he tells the story about having open heart surgery at the age of just 23. Ian was also born without a thumb on his right hand and he is deaf in his right ear so he talks about the impact these health scares have had on his life. Check out their incredible live performance on KEXP and be sure to follow them on Spotify. As always, thanks so much for listening. Please share the show with friends or write a review on iTunes if you can. Thanks so much.
