Post date September 30, 2025

Amy Millan is here to discuss her latest and deeply personal solo album, I Went to Find You, remembering Dallas Good of the Sadies, finally, as an adult and as an artist, processing the sudden death of her father when she was only five years old, how a person’s actual age might be different than their spiritual age, the key role that producer Jay McCarrol and her longtime partner and musical collaborator Evan Cranley played in shaping the sound and tone of this record and the eerie significance of the production crew being dubbed “the Diamonds,” updates about Stars and their indefinite hiatus, solo tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
