Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is the first of two special birthday gift to myself shows. Part two gets released in two weeks. This time around, I have decided to highlight some of my favorite finds from Bandcamp. The podcast has been using Bandcamp for many years to find independent artists, and to give them some of the support they need to keep providing the music we love. So, this time and next time, we will hear just a bit of the great music I have found. I also have an In Memoriam feature for the late Jamie Muir. All that, plus news of tours and releases on Sound Chaser. Playlist1. Druckfarben - Dead Play Awake, from DruckfarbenIN MEMORIAM JAMIE MUIR2. King Crimson - Easy Money, from Larks' Tongues in Aspic3.
