Either way, enjoy!! :)

trying

tonight brings us more indie genius with our longtime friend nick guerrero. as you'll hear (and are most-likely aware - if you've listened to the podcast for any length of time), nick's music is subtle and sad and melodic and beautiful. in short - everything homemade singer/songwriter music should be. :) i'm very happy to share nick with you, and hope you can take a listen!

for those who may not know nick - more can be found at:

cheers,
