Today on The Morning Sound Alternative, Wendy Mills spoke with Joey Ryan of The Milk Carton Kids! Joey talks about the band’s beginnings in 2011, when he and Kenneth Pattengale released their first albums online for free and toured extensively to build a following. He reflects on their creative evolution, from early inspiration and minimalism to experimenting with larger arrangements and renewed collaboration after the pandemic. Joey shares how their focus has shifted toward creating music as a form of service for their fans and previews upcoming Colorado shows, including sold-out performances in Fort Collins and Aspen, and their concert at the Boulder Theater presented by KGNU on October 19.
