This brunch session is brought to you by orange cranberry mini waffles and bad ass fiddle playing!  After brunching with Long Island violinist, Keri Mahoney, we felt all the music inspiration, and now we just might have to see if we remember how to play the instruments we played in high school.  After leaving her classical roots, Keri shares her journey to collaborating  with musicians of genres spanning from emo/pop punk to country. She also talks about how being a musician on the local music scene has changed in this age of social media.

It's cinnamon sugar waffles and a side of emo pop/punk for this week's episode with Long Island cover band, The B-Sides! We talked a little bit about their intense love for deep cut emo music and what it was like hanging out with some of your favorite emo pop/punk emo bands!

He spills the tea on lyric fumbles, collaborating with other musicians, and also shares another side of himself that we never knew about!
