It's

we don't do these very often but every now and again

when something big's coming up I get a chance to do an interview I throw one in and

today's one of those days my buddy Michael Shines if you're a power trip

listener or if you're just a music fan in the Twin Cities area St. Cloud area you know of Michael Shines if you're a power trip listener or if you're just a music fan in the Twin Cities

area, St. Cloud Area, you know of Michael Shines, a brand new band, a superstar, a all-star band

called Michael Shines in the long way home.

It's Mr. Shines himself the long way home. It's Mr Shines himself and then the the

superstar Tommy V. His son Bennett V and Isaac Levy who is a Wonder Kid

just an all-star band and musicians who put together some songs.

They're going to put out an EP here. They've got a brand new announcement for a show

coming up at the Paramount Theater on May 24th in St Cloud. They're going to be walking into some different

musicians into the core of the band from time to time, but five songs about to be

released. We'll play some of those today as we do a little bit of an

interview with them. I want to start the entire

podcast though a debuting one of their new songs. This is Michael Shines and the

long way home. This is a song called Cannonball. It's taking a long time now to explain why we should get married.

Your parents think I'm a loser and as such they have told me half as much

much I keep picturing home and I keep picturing nuts.

Through a white bigget lens of frustration changing into happiness.

It's gonna be a shot. to happiness.

It's gonna be a shotgun wedding. This could be a curtain call.
