The Rooftop podcast series "From The Rooftop" is a storytelling one giving viewers/listeners glimpses into the lives of the local musicians I converse with. The latest podcast tells the music/work life journey of Joe Evans. Joe's music/work life journey spans music student->music teacher -> medical student -> physician/musician.

Started today's work/music listening today with War on Drugs, one of my favorite bands of this millennium.
