This week, we pay tribute to Hepcat's Greg Lee, who tragically passed away last week, with tunes and memories, and the influence Hepcat had on a teenage Ryan Midnight's music taste.

The rest of the episode is filled with neo-traditional and inspired, ska, and I can imagine almost every band here was influenced in some way by Hepcat.

Of note, we showcase new music from Lucky Luxury, NYC Ska Orchestra, The Soularites, Los Caurolites, Sk**ky Banks, and THE UTOPIANS, along with tunes from The Georgetown Orbits, Caz Gardiner, The Delegators and more!

Tonight we say goodbye to Greg Lee, co-founder and co-singer of Hepcat, who tragically and unexpectedly passed away last week.Continue reading100% Ska Podcast S07E07 – Tribute to Hepcat’s Greg Lee and more Neo-Traditional Ska
