In our debut episode (1 of 8) Chris Searles tells the host, Jeff, about hearing an advance copy of Grace in 1994 and how it changed his perspective on music and playing the drums. Buckley took an amazing "set list" and attacked it with a muscular approach. Additionally Chris goes into why Matt Johnson's drumming is outstanding on Grace. Jeff tells Chris about hearing Grace at his house for the first time and how Chris and Jeff got to meet and open up for Jeff Buckley in November 1994 at The Electric Lounge in Austin, Texas.
