Cliff and Susan Podcast

Cliff & Susan are hosting Mike Hosch in town while he is performing at Willy D's Rock & Roll Pianobar in Little Rock, Arkansas. They asked him to join them in today's episode. Susan was trained by "Hosch" in 2004 to do the dueling piano concept. They discuss why dueling pianos works, the story behind how they each got started, and how much they love the concept to this day.

Hear Jamie tell her story of how her life took her from Florida to Colorado, Arkansas, and now Nashville, TN. Her music career evolved with her over the years and this is an insight into an independent artist who has made waves in the music scene.  It's also a look into a married music couple and how they work together. We love that!
