A Fresh Story, season 2, episode 10 Zach Lupetin is a songwriter, playwright, podcaster, and the founding member of folk-rock adventurers Dustbowl Revival. Since coming together via a hopeful California Craigslist ad, Dustbowl has played in over ten countries and produced seven beloved albums. The group's latest, “Is It You, Is It Me,” appeared in the top 20 of the alternative sales charts and enjoyed features in Rolling Stone and Billboard. A new EP “Set Me Free” dropped in 2022. We chatted with Zach about the birth of his daughter, how his wife nearly died during delivery, and his fresh start into fatherhood during a traumatic event. Zach talks about his passion for storytelling, his journey into music, and how his daughter has become his musical muse since her birth. It’s a beautiful conversation about parenthood, marriage, making brave decisions, and how the soundtrack of our lives is the heartbeat within all of our stories. Lupetin began his music discovery podcast The Show On The Road in 2018. The show aims to introduce incredible artists to new audiences, and focuses on giving fans a sense of what it's really like to tour the world and play music 200 + days a year. 125 episodes strong, the podcast has been downloaded nearly 1 million times. In 2022, Lupetin launched his first radio show The Sway Out West Radio Hour on 88.5FM the SoCal Sound in LA on Saturday mornings where he showcases his favorite songwriters each week.
