Singer/songwriter Robyn Hitchcock performs "Mad Shelley's Letterbox" at the Recording Academy Pacific Northwest Chapter's Songwriters Summit.

Prior to the performance, Hitchcock sat down with Portia Sabin, president of Kill Rock Stars and host of "The Future Of What" radio program, to discuss songwriting process, the touring lifestyle, the state of rock music, and more. Never short on strong opinions or interesting ways to express them, Hitchcock goes deep into how he has built and sustained a life as a successful career musician despite having "never troubled the top 100."
