OurSpace with Matt Vettese

In this episode of OurSpace with Matt Vettese, I sit down with Charlie Kerr, frontman of Hotel Mira, actor, and playwright, for a deeply honest conversation about vulnerability, shame, success, and connection. We dive into Hotel Mira’s new EP The Afterparty, how it continues the themes introduced on Pity Party, and why emotional honesty has become the band’s defining strength. Charlie opens up about writing songs where he often positions himself as the villain, the importance of feeling seen and heard, and how shame, when explored openly, can actually bring people together. We also talk about how his background in acting influences his performances, why playing live feels like theater, and how the band’s onstage energy gives fans permission to fully express themselves. 🎧 Hotel Mira’s EP The Afterparty is out now📍 Touring + growing audiences across Canada and beyond 👉 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly artist interviews and deep dives into the alternative music scene. #HotelMira #CharlieKerr #TheAfterparty #AlternativeRock #CanadianMusic #IndieRock #ArtistInterview #EmotionalHonesty #OurSpacePodcast
