Joel and Steve have the pleasure of talking with James Beaudreau - bandleader for the group Bell Helium out of New York City.  James has had quite a journey musically, going from Big Rock to Jazz to the Dead and rolling it all up into his own thing! They talk about the creative process, what it's like to be a working musician in the big city, blowing up what you know to do something different - and generally have a good time!

Be sure to listen to the end, James was kind enough to provide a live track - "We Don't Have To Talk About It", recorded at The Bitter End in NYC March 7, 2020.

If you have a turntable you should just buy the LP, it's great.  Or check them out on Spotify, etc!
