Eight Measures

Conversations with musicians, singers and songwriters about their songs, named for the eight measures at the heart of a song.

Eight Measures is a music interview show from ht.live, and the name comes from the music itself. Eight measures is a phrase of a song: the eight bars where a verse, a hook or a melody takes shape. That's the spirit of the show.

Musicians and their songs

Eight Measures is about the people who make the music: musicians, singers and songwriters, and the songs they write. It isn't about the business around them, the venues or the labels. Some conversations may even zoom right in on eight measures of a song the guest wrote, and what went into them.

Made the On Change way

It will start once On Change has found its footing, because it's built the same way: long conversations, recorded in batches of three, with every guest prepared for properly. On Change ranges across many subjects; Eight Measures stays with the music.
