Wed, 20 Jul 2022 - 1h 05min - 135 - More Than A Band
It's the first part of our progressive rock series where we will dive into the history of the most influential bands in the prog-rock genre. On this episode we start with one of the earliest prog-rock bands, Yes! Who is "Yes"? Why should you care? Their catalog of music is so extensive you may know this band's music and not even realize it! We attempt to scratch the surface of the long and convoluted career of this band where the term "band" seems woefully inadequate!

It's an all new episode coming to you from another week of quarantine, but that's ok, we've got the whiskey and we've got the tunes.

Since we are all in a quarantine rabbit hole, we decided to just shake things up and talk about a music category that we have never delved into, we ponder the question, who are the rock stars of jazz?
Sailor prepares a pretty effing great whiskey pairing with one of Mark's favorites. So pour yourself a dram, sit back and enjoy!
