The Record Podcast

Happy holidays from the Hendersons! Recapping the live podcast, listening to new musics, and some shows to check out. Tunes, brah!

This one has been a long time in the making. Ever since I started this podcast, I wanted to do an episode with my old bandmates. So, what better format than a live episode? Today’s guests are Matt Engers, Adam Engers and Andrew Morrison of Dr. Manhattan! We chat about their music histories, the history of the band, tour stories, current projects and much more! This was recorded live at Epic Deli and the event raised over $500 for The Oasis in Grayslake! Thank you boys for your time. Thank you Jake Levinson for all the sound help. Thank you Grammaw for opening up the show right. Thank you to all who came out that night. And thank YOU for listening.  http://facebook.com/drmanhattanboots http://drmanhattan.bandcamp.com
