If you’ve listened to the opening track “Steel Town” on my new EP, the first thing you’ll hear is a voice that isn’t mine, or even someone’s in the band. The voice is Jim Kapusta’s. Jim is a retired steel worker living in Venetia, Pennsylvania. The clip is a recording of Jim giving a tour of a now-abandoned steel mill called Carrie Furnace that he worked in for 18 years. My producer, Luke Laird, also from Western PA, came up with the concept for the intro and searched until he stumbled upon Jim on YouTube.
