Episode 31: Fastball
When we heard that Fastball was coming through Nashville on tour, we knew that we had to get them on the podcast.  Tony and Miles from the band stopped by the studio to talk with us about their new album "Step Into Light" and their current tour with Everclear and Vertical Horizon.  They talked about what they did before music took off, what it's like hearing your song on the radio and having it become a massive hit, their creative processes as songwriters and the dynamic of being in a band that has kept original members and toured the world since the 90s.
