CMACast

Abby's brother Zach returns from last season to give those unfamiliar with Father John Misty a bit of information about the history and style of his music.

Abby and Ben (our box office manager) discuss tomorrow's Bush/Live concert. Even for those unfamiliar with the band these are all going to be songs everyone recognizes.

Summer took its time, but it's finally here. Lynn and Abby talk about some of the shows coming up in CMAC's busiest season yet as well as some updates to the venue. There's more concerts and more variety this year than any season prior.

Recorded before the holidays. Lynn & Abby share a chaotic story about an adventure out on the lake and have a topical discussion predicting what will happen in the upcoming 2018 CMAs. (Again, this was recorded a bit ago).

Happy 2019! Hootie & the Blowfish are coming to CMAC! There's going to be some new food and beverage options next summer, Lynn's been listening to different music than usual, and there might only be a few more episodes of the off season before it's handed back over to the interns.

Lynn and Abby discuss the 2018 CMAC commemoration lineup poster and t-shirt campaign. The T-Shirt design by FLCC's own Julian Trinchini happens to be this episode's album artwork! The podcast gets its first fan question, and Abby & Lynn once again update us on what they are listening to. Closing music Take me Higher by Jahzzar (betterwithmusic.com) CC BY-SA
