EP 133: Jerry Harrison, Adrian Belew (Talking Heads) & Dave Brandwein

Andy opens the show from the quietude of post-tour life in the fashion he knows best: by disregarding sage advice from his manager! Clandestinely, he premieres a brand new song off the upcoming album, and in my humble opinion: it RULES. On the Interview Hour we have an absolute legendary conversation with members of Talking Heads, King Crimson, and Turquaz: Jerry Harrison, Adrian Belew & Dave Brandwein! Do not miss this convo. Nick Gerlach puts out a call for local talent. This is EP 133.
