Where the Bands Are (Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, 19 November 2022)

Radio Nowhere (Bruce Springsteen Sings the Alphabet)
One of my absolute favourite podcasts is Bruce Springsteen Sings the Alphabet.

Where the Bands Are (Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, 17 June, 2018)
American singer-songwriter and guitarist, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are a really strong live act. Their show in Gothenburg has been sold out for some time now. Their latest album the Nashville Sound was released in June 2017 and has been rewarded two Grammys (Best Americana Album and Best American Roots Song). On the... Continue Reading →
