The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Show - A musical mid-life crisis -- a late-night search for meaning and happiness airs on WRIR LP Monday nights from 9 PM to 11 PM. Stream the show @ www.wrir.org
Hey Listeners,
So tonight Iâve got a little theme going. It seems, to an old-fogie like me that bands â like bands were built in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s donât really exist anymore and have been replaced with a more a more transient project-oriented âbandâ that is more an extension of one musicianâs vision.
Tonightâs show is going to showcase artists that go into the studio (with or without other musicians) and make a record under the nom de guerre of what many might think is a band, but is really more of an alter-ego for an artist and his particular vision for a current project. Anyway I think itâs a fun set. Lots of bands / artists that I havenât played on the MIGFS Show. So enjoy.
