On this exciting episode of The Rhythm Section Podcast, hosts Derrick and Jeff kick things off with Stephanie Wilson-Nichols to promote Fall Fest Memphis Presents: Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas — live in concert on Saturday, October 18th at the Catholic Church of the Incarnation in Collierville, TN. Then, the guys sit down for a fun-filled interview with the legendary Mickey Thomas himself. From his Memphis connections in 1973, to being the unforgettable voice behind Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” to joining Starship in 1979 and leading the ultimate revival in 1992 as Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas, Mickey shares stories, influences, and plenty of laughs. Huge thanks to Stephanie for making this connection possible and to Mickey for bringing his energy and time to the show!
