Summary
In an unbelievably normal turn of events, Andy and the band hit the road for a socially distant run of outdoor, drive-in shows. Listen in as he gives his perspective on the state of live music, mid-pandemic from the safety of the band bubble. And we welcome a living music industry LEGEND, Michael Alago! Michael may best be known for signing Metallica (yes, that Metallica), but his story goes much deeper. Shawn and Beats have a few tunes up their sleeve and Ahri reviews voting. This is EP 102.
