Rocked out in a dynamic interview recently that riffed on my musical journey from notes to narratives. Can I say that? The back beats of conversation were electric, inspirational and rhythmic and I really appreciate these wonderful questions! Please share your thoughts on this, ok? And I just got another one too...! https://cadentia.pro/interview-eric-sommer/ # Carrboro

Tonight, please join me ERIC SOMMER, RIC CHETTER, MARK CALDWELL and all the night creatures up on Poplar Avenue in Memphis, TN at Radio Memphis for two hours of Memphis with two of my good friends and Radio Gods!

I spent years in and out of Memphis, and played on the air at Radio Memphis so many times that this will be a fun, fast and musical show with some of the most knowledgable music guys in Memphis! We're gonna talk about Memphis, the new collection of songs, the Fabulous Piedmonts and what's up this summer!
