wTnS Tweener E - Jim Loughlin Backstage @ UM

Thanks to the insight of the dynamic Robbie Williams (Umphrey's McGee, Finger Tight), co-host Rob Turner was able to grab Jim Loughlin of moe. at the recent Chastain Park Amphitheater UM show and bring the new Georgia resident to Seth Weiner backstage for a quick intermission chat. White Denim is discussed first, as they had just thrown down a fiery set and the show hosts and The Loughlin's are all fans of that excellent band. We get a quick summary of the moist and bulge-rewarding most recent moe.down. Then Jim talks about how he and the rest of moe. learned the terrible news that their bandmate, Rob Derhak had cancer. Loughlin talks about the two shows the band has played since they had to digest that supremely unfortunate news, what Rob's prognosis is and what the band's tentative plans are moving forward in the near future. He also reveals some of what is behind the band's preparation for its collaboration with Phil Lesh. The hosts end by welcoming Jim to the Atlanta music community with an invitation to their September 19th live event at City Winery and by offering their assistance should he decide to put together a Georgia-based side project. Rob also thanks Jim's precious Yankees for the way they have nurtured his nephew Rick Surum since they drafted him in the 16th Round this year. Hosted on Acast.
