Joshua Cipolla

This week on Cocktail Nation, we're pulling up a chair at one of Hollywood's most legendary hideaways, where Sinatra's Rat Pack held court and whispers of JFK and Marilyn Monroe still linger in the air. We'll meet Joshua Cipolla and explore his latest music, uncover the delightfully awkward tale of a lovestruck—or perhaps not-so-lovestruck—elephant at a Sydney Zoo, and hear a heartfelt letter from Maine about the surprising power of lounge music. Add plenty of exotic sounds, swank tunes and a deep thought that might make you rethink the snooze button.
