EPISODE SIXTY: Two Guys Talking Rush/ Pt.1 w Tim DeLaughter

Heya Rush fans! What’s up? Welcome to Episode 60 of 2GTR! This week John & Dan do a little chit chattin’ about the boys. We also welcome special guest Tim DeLaughter…you might have heard him before? Tim is the lead singer of the The Polyphonic Spree. The Spree is a choral symphonic pop rock band from Dallas, Texas that was formed by the former Tripping Daisies front-man (DeLaughter) back in 2000. The band has released six studio albums, along with several live albums and soundtracks over the past two decades. Back in April the Spree released their first covers album via Good Records. The album, titled Afflatus, included a cover of Rush's The Spirit of Radio. In addition to the Rush track, the album includes covers of INXS, The Rolling Stones, ABBA, and many more. Afflatus can be ordered at www.thepolyphonicspree.com Listen in as Tim takes us back to his origins and describes how he is truly a Rush fan at heart. “... Our cover of 'The Spirit Of Radio' actually goes back to high school. I covered it with my high school band, Regency, so for nostalgic reasons, we thought it would be fun to try it with the Spree. ...” Thanks fans...and thank you Tim!
