I’m so thankful that Eric at Upton Bass connected me with Lucia Turino!
Lucia is the bassist for The Devil Makes Three and has the best crazy gig stories. She’s been rained out, nearly blown over, had beer bottles hit her bass… and that’s just for starters!
Being able to sit down with outstanding artists and thinkers like Larry Grenadier is one of the true pleasures of doing this podcast.
