Alicia Van Sant, founding member and lead singer of The Wag, is my guest for this episode. Alicia's bandmate Joshua Van Ness introduced us. Joshua was featured in episodes 257 and 134. Alicia and I had a great time talking. She loves to laugh and comes across as a genuinly pleasant and fine human being. The Wag has been going over 20 years, so cheers to Alicia and The Wag! These days, they have the luxury of being choosy about the shows they play, and Alicia says they're really busy, all the time. The Wag recently released a new album called "Blue Bottles And Copper Coins." They are about to perform a Beatles tribute show on July 14, 2023, and they have a tour coming up in the U.K. Find all their tour dates at TheWagBand.com/Shows. In this conversation, Alicia and I talk about the happiness and longevity of The Wag, singing better in heels, performing music of The Beatles, "Blue Bottles And Copper Coins," Making Merch with the Cricut, The Moody Blues, Star Trek, And Lord Of The Rings.
