It's Show 19 of the Eight One Sixty and Mat Shoare joins us to talk about his new album, Right As Rain, and to play a beautiful live rendition of his song "All You Need Is Love" (it's not a cover)!

As Chris says, it's a 3-Ring Circus kinda night as we are joined by all sorts of people!

First, tune in to hear a live performance and ode to Boulevard from Dead Ven. Then musician Vi Tran comes in to talk about the play The Butcher's Son (written by and starring Vi Tran). Finally, Clairaudients bring us a live-acoustic performance and a round of "7 Questions".

It's a Middle of the Map wrap-up, PLUS Nick Carswell of Silly Goose Records joins us to talk about MixMaster 2015 and we end with the line-up for Boulevardia!

It's the last preview for this year's Middle of the Map Music Fest on this episode of the Eight One Sixty. Plus, Not A Planet takes to the mic with new music and love for Kansas City!

It's the Eight-One-Sixty-Middle-of-the-Map-Fest-Record-Store-Day-Spring-Pledge Special (say that five times fast). We talk to Judy Mills of Mills Record Company and are joined by the Westerners from Lawrence, KS.
