Description
In this episode Rich conducts an interview with Block Island's most notorious Rock and Roll outfit, The Booze Beggars.This time around Marc finds himself on the other side of the mic along with his bandmates Steve "Lightnin'" Lighty, John Whitaker, Dominic Nardini and Peter Voskamp. And there's no shortage of stories here although some of the facts get...hazy...to say the least.Find out how this rag tag bunch of musicians organically coalesced to form a musical outfit that held the "house band" position at Captain Nick's for the better part of a decade. During that time The Beggars' show evolved from a bare bones setlist to a well lubricated spectacle full of inside jokes, shenanigans and monster riffs.We get to know each Beggar individually- their origin stories, influences and more all on full display. We also come to understand how Block Island's most enigmatic and sought after group of musicians developed their over three hour long set despite never having had one rehearsal.
