The Jukebox Graduate (Episode 03): My Rock 'n' Roll Dreams



In the third episode of The Jukebox Graduate, Dave Rayburn and Eugene Edwards welcome Brian Whelan into Pollywood Studios for a fun-filled fragment of their ongoing discussion of all things music. You'll hear about the history between Brian and Eugene and how Brian soldiered through life changes to produce his two great albums, Decider and Sugarland. You'll also hear some cuts from those albums and a live in-studio performance of a brand new song.
