The Local Show featuring Frankie Lee, Andrea Swensson, and Jay Gabler
March 29, 2015
This week on The Local Show you'll hear all about Frankie Lee's latest project, American Dreamer, which is both an EP and a new long form video. Frankie and the band joined us in The Current studios to perform three from the EP, including the stellar new single "Where Do We Belong." You'll also hear his thoughts on hog farming and farm accidents, his use of a drum machine and synthesizers this time around, and who he'd want to play in The Band's epic concert film The Last Waltz if the technology were available to put him there.
Also on The Local Show this week, we checked in with Local Current reporters Andrea Swensson and Jay Gabler for the latest news from the blog, including the 10th anniversary of the 331 Club, the Star Tribune's legendary record vault, and a big break for Hippo Campus. You'll also hear debuts from BNLX, Go Get 'Em Tiger, Robert Skoro, Self-Evident, and the Roe Family Singers. Plus you'll hear the latest from Aero Flynn, TYTE JEFF, Greg Grease, Thestand4rd, and Jon Jones, as well as classics from Bobby Vee and the Strangers, and March Artist of the Month Soul Asylum.
