We bumped elbows, which he does in lieu of shaking hands, then sat down at a table to talk about music. Outside, you could see palm fronds swaying languidly in the breeze. This was in October of 2019. Three months or so before everything changed.

This week, needless to say, the coronavirus pandemic overshadowed basically everything in the lead-up to Friday’s release of Zoom In, Starr’s new EP that includes five songs recorded at his Los Angeles-area home studio, right smack in the middle of the pandemic between April and October of last year.
