Ed Valauskas is good people. Called the Zelig of the Boston rock scene, Ed is your go-to guy if you need to form a quick pick-up backing band for a music legend —or need to record an album full of Olivia Newton-John covers. He’s also the de facto musical director of the annual Hot Stove, Cool Music shows (the Chicago edition is coming up on July 1st at the Metro) and the studio manager at Boston’s legendary Q Division Studios. Did we mention he plays bass? On this episode: Covid, Christian rock, New Haven Pizza, Chicago Pizza, Graham Parker, Mike Deneen, Juliana Hatfield, The Gravel Pit, Tom Morello’s hat, and Scott falls on his ass.
