2023 Recap with Rebecca Slaman

“Life is short even on its longest days”, Bob Dylan sang in Indianapolis, covering John Cougar Mellencamp. But a year is pretty long, so I invited Rebecca Slaman to do a recap with me. We talk about the releases, live shows, and our general highlights of 2023.

Check out Rebecca’s PhilosopHER of Modern Song series on her Substack.
