Show Notes

Welcome to episode No. 83 for this Tuesday, May 18th, 2021.

Today, I’m taking you on a journey to Bangalore, India, to hear the story of how I came to know (and adore) three talented and tenacious musicians known as the Midnight Poppies. Their group is a fusion of styles, personalities, and genres (blues with hints of rock and jazz) whose sound is both hauntingly familiar and yet distinct.

These talented musicians write, practice, and perform in various parts of the world while managing demanding day jobs. Band members include:

• Sangeeta Hosea vocals, guitar, songwriting (and the one who pulled the group together)
• Rajni Shivaram, vocals
• Adrian Moses, guitar

At the time of our conversation, the Midnight Poppies were about to release four new singles during the first wave of the pandemic. Songs included Bottle’s Empty, Bittersweet Love, Something That Wasn’t Mine, and Little Things We Left Behind.
