In this soulful episode of The Mixtape, we sit down with Chris Tapp, frontman of hard-hitting blues rock duo The Cold Stares, to talk all things music, art, and growth.
Chris opens up about the band’s brand new album ‘Southern’ — a gritty, heartfelt tribute to their roots — and what it revealed about him as both a songwriter and a storyteller. He also shares the journey of learning to sing later in life, and how it transformed his approach to performing.
But it’s not all music — we dive into Chris’s love of vintage French posters, how visual art inspires his creative process, and the personal passions that fuel his sound.
As always, we wrap with an imaginary mixtape, where Chris picks the songs that shaped his soul and soundtrack his story.
🎧 Tune in for an episode full of southern grit, artistic spirit, and raw authenticity.
