This episode of The Unstarving Musician’s Podcast features a conversation with award winning producer, sound engineer, guitarist, vocalist, performer, and all around cool guy, Kid Andersen.
As owner of Greaseland Studios, Kid is doing some amazing work, taking breaks to perform live in his current home town of San Jose California and various locations abroad. He’s also devoting time to help bring awareness to some otherwise lost gems of the blues world.
