Mitten Backstage#43 - Lee Heerspink | Mitten BackstageI'm joined today by Hudsonville guitarist Lee Heerspink! I first heard about Lee through his involvement in Derek Brown's recent album with the Holland Concert Jazz Orchestra and later met him through gigging with the BlueWater Kings Band. He's part educator, part arranger, part skilled guitarist, and part father, juggling so many roles all while keeping a cool head and a calm demeanor!

Patty gives me some insights into her Patreon, information on her current focuses as a creative, and the transformation of her shared home with fellow artist Sandra Effert into a space that encourages creativity.
“Patty PerShayla is a force of nature, like a hurricane that sweeps through & leaves all the dishes standing. She is a friendly feral cat, a rock ‘n’ roll Tinkerbell, who plays the most vicious music your mom will ever love.” — Chad Wedeven, Stolen Wallp...2021-01-2248 min
