Customer Reviews
Love this show.
I have never been a musician myself, just missing that thing... but all my life have hung out with them. I have always loved this part. Experiencing the origin and creation of a song, is such a special experience.
I became sick and lost my sight, so can’t hang out with the bands like I used to, so this has become something really special to me.
Superfan
Cant wait for a new season!
Worth the listen
If you are into the creative process of a song this is your jam (hold the peanut butter) sandwich. The plus is listening to it completed at the end of the show. Hope for a season 2.
