09/22/2024 - Maria Tambien (Khruangbin Special) - Episode 018
I was lucky enough last week to see a personal favorite of mind, Khruangbin, live at Forest Hills Stadium for an incredible show, which inspired me to dive deep on the influences, collaborations, and connections of the globally influenced Texas trio of Mark Speer, Laura Lee & DJ Johnson. Had so much fun with this one - hope you enjoyed it too!
