For KGNU’s Morning Sound Alternative, Cameron Henderson welcomed Eric Bjella of Good Carver into the studio for a live acoustic session and conversation about the band’s new album, The Steps We Have To Take. Performing solo for the session, Bjella shared stripped-down versions of “Sinking In,” “Questions from Leon Trotsky Trout,” and “Calmer Waters,” along with stories about the evolution of the Fort Collins-based folk project, collaborating with bandmates Lana, Maxwell Tretter, and Eric Smith, and the inspiration behind the new record.
During the interview, Bjella discussed songwriting influenced by literature, community-driven music spaces in Northern Colorado, and the band’s upcoming June 6 performance at Rich Farms in Fort Collins alongside The Friendly Reminders and Brogan Foster. (Air Date 5/14/26)
