Hangover Sessions 314 Ft. David Gans ~ December 22nd 2024

For the 314th Hangover Sessions I was fortunate enough to host one of my most magnificent guests yet ~ going by the name of Mr David Gans)!

David is a musician, songwriter, and music journalist based outta Oakland, CA;  known for his incisive, literate songwriting. He is also noted for his music loop work, often creating spontaneous compositions in performance.

Amongst many other talents, David is also the co-author of the book 'Playing in the Band: An Oral and Visual Portrait of the Grateful Dead', and the host of the weekly syndicated radio show The Grateful Dead Hour.

In tandem with that show David also co-hosts another radio show with Gary Lambert on Sirius XM's The Grateful Dead Channel called 'Tales from the Golden Road', a call-in show about the Grateful Dead!

David was kind enough to join me for a full 2-hour interview for this 314th episode; introducing 6 deserted island songs, intertwined with 3 original live performances!

A link to all of David's chosen deserted island playlist is available here

Happy Listening!
