#BoysKeepSwinging #JakeShears #ScissorSisters 

This edition of Kyle Meredith With… features former Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears, who touches on the process of recording his self-titled debut solo album and his recently released memoir, Boys Keep Swinging.

On creating music by himself, Shears says the creative journey of writing his first solo work was “super liberating”, and goes deeper into how cities like Louisville and New Orleans influenced his process.

The rocker also hints at a future appearance in an unreleased “big” movie, so audiences should keep both their eyes and ears peeled from new work from Shears.
