Gregory, Steve and Mike from the band Meraki stopped by our studio recently for a super fun podcast and acoustic session. They began the evening with a stellar acoustic set of three songs that absolutely blew us away!
Following that we spoke at length about the difference between jam bands and bands that jam. We dove deep into the mechanics and nuances of their music; and they shared lots of great stories about their musical training, live shows, hobbies, and family. We also chatted about Greg’s company – Manifest Entertainment – that curates music events and experiences in Asbury. Tune in and enjoy this humorous podcast (these guys were pros at making it entertaining). And just like an iconic jam band ... we could’ve gone on and on chatting with these very likeable musicians!
Missing were band members Brian and Jack who we sure hope to meet soon!
