This episode of How Long Gone is brought to us by our friends at Dart Collective. I think we can all

0:05.9

agree that wedding music is typically quite lame, cheesy, and it doesn't represent the bride

0:12.6

and groom's personal music taste. Luckily, Dart works with actual musicians and artists, many of whom

0:18.3

have their own productive careers or tour in bands you've heard of.
