This week we are joined by Chris Lucca from Suburban Legends and The Littlest Man Band. Chris tells us about learning to play the trumpet and his early ska years in Philadelphia, PA. We learn how he started playing with Suburban Legends and moving west. Chris talks about making music for video games and playing in The Littlest Man Band. We discuss some of our favorite ska covers, Ska News and of course, our Ska Picks of the Week.
