The Americana group Blue Dogs join us (11-minute mark) to talk music and beer. Band founder Bobby Houck (lead vocals) and Hank Futch (vocals/upright bass) chat with us about going into the studio for the first time in 16 years, why they made a new album, how growing up in South Carolina impacted their sound, their journey in the music industry, creating a beer with Holy City Brewing, and much more. Plus, Jake Sulek joins us (1-minute mark) for Tasting Notes to talk rum on the third part of our Spirits 101 series.
