Campfire Conversation:
Eric and Ana discuss the arrival of spring and launch a new series within the podcast where The Cabin
welcomes emerging Wisconsin musicians and out more about them, their bands, their music,
experiences, and aspirations. In this first episode of the series, The Cabin welcomes The Astronomers, an
emerging power pop/alternative group headed by Michael Stensland and Ben Baker. Their song
"Overthinking" has over 5 million streams on Spotify; other popular tunes include "Skywalking," "Bad
Type," and their latest release "Orange Afternoon." Hailing from the Oshkosh & Fond du Lac area, they
discuss everything from how they met in middle school and continue their college studies at UW-
Oshkosh through the multi-state tour they just wrapped up that put them in front of enthusiastic
audiences from Minnesota to Florida, where they were part of The Rock Boat’s lineup. The Astronomers
write their own music, and Cabin guest Katie Scullin - a WAMI award-winning musician herself -
discusses with them their songwriting process, making music videos, getting their music on platforms
like Spotify, and performance experiences at different venues. Michael & Ben also share a variety of
interesting stories. Check out their music with these links below!
