Summary
Paul F. Tompkins welcomes back the East Coast and its representatives to Spontaneanation, recorded in front of a LIVE audience at The Bell House in Brooklyn! This week, Pauls special return guest is singer/actor/writer/director Nathan Lee Graham! They chat about which song was playing when Nathan lost his virginity, performing at a petting zoo, and Nathan's "Harriet Tubman Tour" of Germany with "Jesus Christ Superstar." Paul is then joined by Chelsea Clarke, Shannon ONeill, and Gary Richardson, to improvise a story set at The Bell House. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
