Podcast No. 9 - PETER HOLSAPPLE - Do The Secret Monkey Podcast w/ hosts Secret Monkey Weekend

Our guest this week is the man for all occasions, Peter Holsapple of the dB's, Continental Drifters and other acclaimed combos through the years. He also happens to be a family friend even before Jefferson connected with Laura, Ella, and Lila as Peter was in a band with their birth father Matt Brown that played children's events called "Baron Von Rumblebuss". Peter also played keys on our first album and our upcoming one "Lemon Drop Hammer".
