When I spoke with Jon Shockness, aka Kid Astronaut, he had recently performed at Red Rocks, the famous open-air amphitheater situated a few miles from Denver, Colorado, his hometown. A big deal by any measure, but a particularly heady experience for Shockness, a soulful vocalist and musician, whose second solo album, Full Moon, came out in the spring. A former member of the hip-hop band Air Dubai, which disbanded in 2015, Shockness craves movement and connection with his environment. Listen to us touch on how he fell into yoga, what his workouts have looked like over the years, the role movement plays in managing his mental health and how a relentless quest to be better finds its way into both his musical and physical pursuits.
