The Ledge, Episode 64: Jason Loeb

A few weeks ago I received an email from longtime Ledge listener Jason Loeb asking about the distance from Omaha to Sioux Falls. The Boston native was going to be in Nebraska for business, and wanted to see if it was conceivable to make the trip up north to participate in a Ledge taping.

Obviously, I said yes, and Loeb made the three hour trip through light snow...armed with two dozen great songs he wanted to share with Ledge listeners. Some were old classics; other were relatively new bands that he wanted to share with me. The results are a great show and a great chat about the current music scene in his hometown.

To hear the show, subscribe via iTunes or download it here. One further note - there probably won't be a Live Ledge this week as realpunkradio retools their site. The show will return soon, though, and the chat and tunes will be on this site.
