Podcast with Mad Tea Party's Jason Krekel
Mad Tea Party, just off of a few FloydFest sets, hits The Sun Music Hall, Floyd, on Saturday.
Last week, the duo's Jason Krekel joined us to talk and stream tunes before the band's Aug. 29 show at The Sun Music Hall, Floyd.
Krekel comes from heavy-duty Nashville, Tenn., mainstream success -- his father, the late Tim Krekel, wrote hit songs for such artists as Crystal Gayle and Patty Loveless. The older Krekel, also a session and touring musician, even played the guitar solo on Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise."
Jason Krekel's career has been a lot different. He's been an early or original member of such outfits as Snake Oil Medicine Show, Larry Keel Experience and Firecracker Jazz Band. These days, he spends most of his time working with his girlfriend, songwriter/ukulele banger Ami Worthen, in Mad Tea Party.
We discuss all of that and more in this podcast.
