Upstate Music Mine

We have a fun, bite-sized episode for you today! Take 15 minutes today for Episode 15 (one day shy of the 15th..darn) of the 3rd season to enjoy the sounds of another fresh artist in the upstate scene!

This week's spotlight artist is fellow with a rich history in the Greenville music scene, William Bates.  His sound is reminiscent of Bob Dylan, REM, and even The Beatles. He's got an impressive resume and has been active in music for nearly 4 decades.  

We hope you enjoy our chat with William and his track "There's no answer for the Greenville kid", which we think is a perfectly fitting theme.

That's all for today's minisode, thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next week!!
We love you UMMPod Nation!
