This week on The Mixtape, we slide into the soulful world of Pat Tierney, whose unique blend of folk, blues, and roots is elevated by his deep connection to the lap steel guitar. Pat shares how discovering the instrument changed the way he writes and performs music, and gives us an inside look at the making of his atmospheric new album Lost in the Haze.

We also chat about the magic of playing for Sofar Sounds, where stripped-back sets and intimate spaces let the songs truly breathe. Pat opens up about his songwriting process, how nature and travel influence his sound, and why staying authentic is key in today's music scene.

Plus, in our signature mixtape segment, Pat builds a playlist of tracks that shaped his musical journey—from classic slide guitar icons to modern-day storytellers.

🎶 Tune in for a laid-back, heartfelt episode full of sonic textures, personal reflections, and the music that moves us.
