Episode 215: “Merkin Ball” - Pearl Jam

This week’s installment of the show features a full house, as Chris and Ethan are joined by producer Drew McFadyen - and the trio’s longtime friend Sam Kulp! Sam shares how his passion for music developed from being gifted a few CDs as a child into choosing it as his field of academic study and making music himself. This week’s episode is also a reunion of sorts, as Ethan, Drew, and Sam were in a band together in high school, so listen along as they trade stories about growing up together and finding their groove as a band, as well as other tales of lore. Sometimes, four pals talking music is what it’s all about. Thanks to Sam and Drew for coming on this week!
