Interviews with Matthew Woodley of Plants and Animals & Jon Matte of The Franklin Electric

To start the show we talk to Matthew Woodley of Plants and Animals. The group is appearing at Club SAW next Thursday, May 5th. They released an album The Jungle in 2020 and Matthew explains how the group is very happy to finally be out touring in support of it. We hear about how family life and children are reflected in some of the songs on the album and how the group worked to create a very contemporary sound on The Jungle.
