Arts Extract Podcast Episode 20: Human Humidors and Some Filler, A Winter/Spring Concert Preview

Andy Downing talks with us about the upcoming concert season.

Madison’s touring-music lineup this time of year is always a strange hodgepodge, often compelling but not always consistent. This week, the Arts Extract podcast welcomes Andy Downing of 77 Square in a discussion of the most notable touring-music offerings of the season, from the formidable international sounds of Vusi Mahlasela to the post-grunge atrocities of Three Days Grace.
