The Ledge, Episode 65: Craig Ellerbroek (Part 2)

When my good buddy Craig Ellerbroek made his first appearance on The Ledge last September, the plan was for the second part of his musical journey would follow within a few weeks. Ellerbroek's busy schedule, particularly tending to his adorable little toddler, forced us to push back his taping a few months.

He finally returned to The Ledge studio this week, and in this episode we recall the days of his legendary indie rag, The Tempest. Besides talking about the issues and events that were covered during these years, Ellerbroek came up with the soundtrack of those times. Well, actually an abbreviated soundtrack, as it's next to impossible to condense ten years of music into a two hour show. In fact, there are now plans for another show with Craig, this time centering on the great artists that I had the pleasure of interviewing during my time as music editor.

To listen to the show, subscribe through iTunes or directly download it here. Also, don't forget to check out Live Ledge this Friday at 5 pm central, and a brand new show, Rural Ledge-ucation, on Sunday at 10 am central. Join us on this site for both of those shows, and register your name in the chat box on the left side of this page to participate in the chat.
