Hello poppies! On today’s episode, we give a 3-hour shout-out to the musical legacy of The Empire State, which has built many musical empires over the years.
And it should be no surprise that three hours is not nearly enough to cover even 1/4 of this state’s musical history so we will return her soon.
Plus, along the way, I drop a few noteworthy emerging acts! Enjoy!
