July Talk's Peter Dreimanis just made his big screen debut playing a singing vampire in Ryan Coogler's Sinners — and it all happened because of a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover song he released. Dreimanis sits down with Tom Power to tell us the story behind his first major film role, plus, a little bit about his debut solo album under the name Peter Dreams, which he wrote while waiting for his newborn baby to arrive.
