Episode 113
In Episode 113, Aaron’s song picks for the week come from a Seattle-based band led by singer/songwriter Ben Bridwell while Brent spotlights music from one of the most successful Canadian rock groups of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Formed after the break-up of Bridwell’s previous band, Carissa’s Wierd, Aaron highlights three songs from the group Band Of Horses.
Originating in Winnipeg as Chad Allan & The Expressions before a clever marketing ploy permanently altered their name in 1965, Brent looks at three songs from the career of The Guess Who.
