Steve Gustafson of 10,000 Maniacs joins me to talk about their October 7th show at the Smyrna, GA 151st Birthday Celebration. 10,000 Maniacs join Goo Goo Dolls and The Wallflowers at the Culture & Spirit Festival.

Steve and I talk about the early days, living in Atlanta in the early 80s, opening for The Grateful Dead in Buffalo, NY on July 4, 1989 - along with an interesting encounter with Jerry Garcia - and his band's newest members: Leigh Nash and Matt Slocum from Sixpence None the Richer.
