This week, Black Guy Fawkes (and Ed) are talking to Grant Minnick, a local singer songwriter from Indiana, Pennsylvania, who just released his first album Panels!, which is a bit of a meditation on graphic novels–each song is inspired by a different cartoonist’s work. Grant talks about the songwriting process and his influences and gives Ian a chance to really geek out about some comic book related things. Ian and Grant talk about the different mindsets involved in being a songwriter and being a performer, and how the two don’t always go together.

Grant Minnick is a musician out of Indiana, Pennsylvania. His first album, Panels!, is out on all music streaming platforms. You can find more of Grant at https://www.instagram.com/grantminnick.music/

For more Black Guy Fawkes, check out Music | Black Guy Fawkes (bandcamp.com)or https://asbestosrecords.bigcartel.com/. He’s also on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, etc as Black Guy Fawkes–spelling is extremely important here and, not surprisingly, he’s on music streaming services as well: Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. You can probably find Ed drinking in a karaoke bar or in the crowd at a punk show. The show also now has a playlist of music from guests that have appeared, and guests who will be appearing, and you can check that out on Spotify as well: Fawkes & Friends: The Playlist - playlist by Ian Robinson | Spotify
