  "account": "Adam Wayne Brown, bassist for Winnipeg folk-country band Big Loser, is drawn to the nostalgia of growing up in the changing Interlake. His affinity for the nostalgic is evident in his wardrobe and lyrics, which often reference the unique circumstances of his youth. Brown and his bandmate Alex Paradoski, the frontman, fondly reminisce about their former haunts, such as the Lockport Bridge and Skinner’s drive-in along Highway 44. Their debut album, Spitting Distance, is thematically rooted in the Interlake, taking inspiration from their shared experiences and memories.",
