Songwriters on Process interviews Sarah Beth Tomberlin

Here's my interview with Sarah Beth Tomberlin (aka Tomberlin) about her songwriting process. I loved this conversation and the thoughtfulness of her responses. Tomberlin's story has been told elsewhere. Briefly: she grew up in a very religious Baptist family (her father is a pastor) and moved often. She wasn't allowed to listen to secular music growing up. Tomberlin went to a private Christian college briefly before dropping out; she now splits time between Los Angeles and New York City, living with Busy Philipps and her husband Mark Silverstein. Her lyrics address the isolation she felt growing up and her struggle growing up in the church. "But funny thing is that I always hated church/ Spend so much time looking that I forgot to search," she sings. Tomberlin's latest EP Projections is out now on Saddle Creek Records. It contains the beautiful track "Wasted," which I absolutely love and which was directed Philipps. Her debut At Weddings was released in 2018.
