If there’s something we could all sit down and agree on...it’s music.Join Markese and Nathan as they provide a platform for those stories to be told. Where others’ experiences, passions, successes and failures have shaped them into who they are today. The conversations start with music but end with an understanding.If you like stories and the arts with a little humor peppered in...you will
