Adam Caress joined me for a sweeping conversation about his journey in music, his role in the music scene at Gordon, and his experience with The Troubadours while at Gordon and after graduation.

The Troubadours have a reunion show scheduled at The Cut in Gloucester on July 20th at 7 pm! Cables and Lines will be opening the show.
