Bruce Hornsby: Untold Grateful Dead Stories, Tupac, and his Early Career.

Bruce Hornsby joins Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast for a hilarious, deeply musical hang that somehow covers everything: growing up in Williamsburg, VA, getting told “you guys got problems” by a record exec, and the long road from lounge gigs to meeting David Geffen and cutting the demos that became “The Way It Is” and “Mandolin Rain.”

Bruce breaks down his roots as a hoops-obsessed Knicks kid (Bill Bradley, Walt Frazier, Earl “The Pearl”), his piano awakening through Elton John, Leon Russell, Bill Evans, and Keith Jarrett, and why he calls his sound “Bill Evans meets the hymn book.” Plus: wild Grateful Dead stories, opening for the Dead, sitting in at Madison Square Garden, and what he learned from Jerry Garcia.
