Listen now (43 min) | Hey folks, This past week, I was fortunate enough to be invited by my friends Jeff and Jake of Illiterate Light to catch their show when they came through town on tour in support of their latest album Sunburned. Until now, I had never gotten to see them live and, dear sweet 10lb. baby jeezus, let me tell you that they put on an incredible, high-energy, kick-ass show that you do not want to miss if they

Chris no problem at all. I know how busy you are. Take your time. Today (25th already here in Portugal) I will publish the second song. An opportunity for you to get a better idea of what I have to deliver. ;-)

I LOVED the Jake Wesley Rogers video! 🫶🏼 Thsnks for that, Chris. It got my day off to a rockin good start!
I’m glad you loved JWR, Kathi! I think he’s phenomenal too! Great way to start one’s day.
Thanks for the kind words & signal boost!
Both bands tore the roof off the place. We probably should’ve worn earplugs. Lol.
My pleasure, pal. Talked you (and your awesome readers who also suggest great music) up in the podcast too!
Tapes selling at their highest rate in twenty years is music to my cassette label-running ears!

100% agree.
Thanks Chris. Awesome sounds. Just subscribed to Jeff Substack. By the way what is that Coachella city curfew thing?
