Matthew Schwartz is a local musician and half of the band Pacifico with his other half, Ava. He’s part of the collaborative album Fight the Flood that released just last month to help raise funds for victims of the Baton Rouge flood in 2016 as we continue to recover a year later. In this episode we discuss the inspiration and process that drives his music, the efforts of thirty plus musicians, writers and producers who worked together on the Fight the Flood album and the stories and events that have shaped Matthew’s music from childhood until today.
