Melbourne/Naarm songwriter Evan Jones (Hologram Sam, Malibu Spacey) chats about the art of songwriting, embracing creative restrictions, and why inspiration comes from showing up, not waiting for it to strike. From recording his deeply personal debut album Hologram Samwich to finding ideas in hot showers, guitar tunings and everyday moments, Evan shares thoughtful insights into building a sustainable creative practice, trusting the process, and making art that feels true to yourself.
