Yesterday we drove from Ithaca, upstate New York, to Mahwah, New Jersey to appear on the legendary Bumpskey Radio Show. When we arrived, the guys had cooked dinner for us. Before sitting down to eat meatballs & pasta, we played 5 or 6 songs live-to-air with an acoustic guitar & tambo. After dinner, we went back on the air for an hour-and-a-half to talk about where the band came from, what it’s like to be on the road & what people are like in different places around the world.
Midway through the interview, we called Mat Ward (Pledger of the Week) live on air – Mat’s dulcet tones sounding out all over Jersey & the world beyond.
The Bumpskey crew then took us to the Sheraton, put us up for the night there & took us out for breakfast this morning. Not only did we just have one of the great radio experiences of our lives, we’ve also been humbled by the generosity and kindness of the wonderful Jerry and Bumpskey – who run the show.
And now, we’re on our way to Asbury Park, New Jersey (Springsteen territory) for a big show tonight at The Saint.
