Today Adam sits down with indie-folk breakout Brendan Abernathy—best known for the barefoot TikTok smash “Married in a Year” and his nickname Everyone’s Local Artist. Brendan explains how he swapped an economics degree for four years living out of a sedan, couch-surfing through 600 grassroots shows and turning kindness into currency. From the three-day solitude retreat (plus a Taylor-Swift epiphany) that set him on this path, to the $2 228 “miracle” rent check, Brendan unpacks the blend of faith, delusional confidence and radical service that fuels his art, why monthly-listener counts lie but ticket stubs don’t, and how one shaky iPhone clip can still beat the algorithm when authenticity leads the way.
