What Made Nick Drake (and his mother) Some of the Best Songwriters in the World? with Bruno Major!
On this week’s DeadWax, Jack and Ryan sit down with acclaimed singer-songwriter Bruno Major to talk about his deep love for Nick Drake and the timeless influence Drake’s music has had on his own artistry. Bruno reflects on how Nick Drake’s delicate songwriting, haunting melodies, and emotional honesty continue to shape the way he writes and performs today, offering rare insight into the impact of one of folk’s most enduring voices.
In the extended Patreon-exclusive edition, Bruno takes the conversation further, shining a light on Molly Drake—Nick Drake’s mother—whose beautiful songs remain lesser-known yet profoundly moving. He discusses how even the greatest works can be lost to history, and why rediscovering voices like Molly’s matters to our understanding of music and legacy.
