Rob Drabkin has been described as listening to a jazzy Dave Matthews improve where he invites Paul Simon to join him. He has won numerous awards including “Colorado’s Best Singer/Songwriter” by Westword Magazine in both 2008 and 2009.

On his new album ON THESE HEAVY FEET, he shares his world with us through song. He also enlisted Davy Knowles to join him on his remake of the Allman Brothers “Melissa”.

We will only have Rob for about 20 minutes as he waits to board a flight.

Then the guys from Tin Pan will join us on The Couch. I really fell for the music these guys are making today. Their combination of swing, jazz and blues is fun and infectious.

Think Ray Charles and Tom Waits hanging out on Bourbon Street and get you some idea of the sound of Tin Pan.

Describing themselves as a “street band,” they often play in Central Park and in the New York City transit system. It’s the embodiment of the band’s belief that their music should be accessible – literally and figuratively.

Their new album HOUNDS TOOTH is a collection of great tunes. We will chat with the boys and find out how they came to be and where they are aiming to be.

We will take your calls and questions for both guests at 1.347.633.9400. 

The live interactive chat room opens 20 minutes before show time. Follow this link HERE and click on the Chat Now icon.

Remember, unless you take the two minutes to register, you will not be able to participate in the chat room or send me questions to ask Rob or the guys of Tin Pan, but you will still hear the show.
