Show Notes
This episode is a fun, laid-back chat with Ben Spraker, who plays in The Shut Ups and The Arcs—two Athens bands both dropping new albums basically at the same time. Ben and Feddun swap stories about growing up with music. Ben explains what it’s like to be part of the Athens scene, and how making music with friends is just the best. You’ll hear about Ben’s first guitar heroes, why he loves playing live, and some behind-the-scenes band stories (plus a few laughs about clarinets and bad 80s sax solos). Ben even tells the story of how he was instrumental in Jay Gonzalez joining the Drive-By Truckers. Don't miss it!
