This week on the Figure Eights Podcast!

I talk with Rebecca Sorensen and Katy Vernon about the Morningside After Dark event. Rebecca founded the event 13 years ago with the late, great Laurie Lindeen. We also pay tribute to Laurie.

Morningside After Dark is an arts event in Edina, Minnesota that features musicians, artists and writers performing their works in the Edina Morningside Church basement. It's an incredible event.

The next event is tonight featuring John Eller, John Munson (Semisonic), Lori Yang and more. I'll be performing as well.

Tonight's event and this episode are in memory of Laurie Lindeen.

Join me for my conversation with Laurie Kaye. She takes me through her life, career, interviews with Mick Jagger, David Bowie, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, cultiminating with her interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the Dakota in NYC on the day of John Lennon's death. Great conversation on a deep and sad topic.

Join me as I chat with award winning filmmaker, Don Hardy. We talk about his new music doc, "Linda Perry - Let it Die Here." It's a fantastic and courageous documentary. We discuss legacy in a disposable culture, living in the moment, taking chances and work results vs self worth. It's a great episode. Hope you dig it as much as I did.
