CRUMBS Cafe
CRUMBS Cafe was an Upstate New York radio show from January 2007 to September 2015 where local musicians stopped by the CRUMBS Cafe Studio for an interview and a couple of songs. Often we got the chance to record rare, acoustic versions of your favorite local songs. These weekly shows gave musicians the outlet to chat a bit about them, what their songs are all about, or even the local music scene in general. These episodes were also heard on Exit 97.7 WEXT every Friday night and blogged about on the Times Union website. Mike Guzzo, Billy Booker, Andy Gregory, and Rich Krissel.

Recorded 29 Mar 2007: The conversation was off to a slow start but once they got into playing a tune they warmed up to the interview mic.
