This is the first of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit, and as I explained in the outrobabble, it's a long one. Unfortunately, there was a lot of great music, one hilarious interview, and a lot of supplemental material to cover, and I would rather go long than cut any of that great stuff out. I promise, the rest of this series will be back in our 45-60 minute format.
The Shadyside Allstars are a group of virtuoso musicians who play a very tight style of improvisational, "jam band" music. As such, they have built a huge following not only here in Indianapolis, but also around the rest of the midwest where they regularly play small and large venues as well as festivals.
As a further word of warning, portions of this podcast are probably not suitable for more sensitive ears ... I don't think it's quite as potentially offensive as, say, the average interview with The Dirty Third ... but certainly it's somewhere between PG-13 and R, hence the explicit tag -- and the disclaimer we stuck at the end of the interview. Either way, you have been warned.
