Interesting.
Nice interview, Steve.
I’m gonna try to be there, along with all those folks I probably haven’t seen in years.

“Fisher Meehan was generous enough to be the musical guest at the first Asheville Poetry Shootout. I realize I may be only speaking for myself, but there is something very compelling and sad about his feet.”
This is awesome news!
It will probably never ever happen but how cool would it be to see the 4 piece lineup with Bill Reynolds and Tyler Ramsey again!? Man, if that Drug Money lineup would play a show in town opening for Band of Horses I’d probably be able to die a happy man right then and there.
Still continues to be my favorite local band after all these years. Don’t let that dying grunge sound go to waste. You have the voice.
