Many people in Erie, PA know Walt Slivinski from his Honeybear Recording Studio or from when he was a member of the Epics, who played for the Beatles at the Peppermint Lounge in 1964. But that meeting with the Fab Four was only one of the highlights of the Epics' career and one of many interesting stories Walt has during his time with the band and then touring the country for 20+ years with his next band, Orange Colored Sky. You won't want to miss this episode!
Listen to songs by The Epics and Orange Colored Sky on Walt's episode page on the podcast's website.
