Track List – February 22

This show I was extremely honoured to do a phone interview with the talented, sweet, and all-around amazing Martha Meredith of For Esme. She was a fantastic sport as I figured out technical issues, she loved the track list, and she was a pleasure to talk to. It’s an absolute promise that that won’t be the last you hear of her! You can find more of For Esme’s music and other information at www.ForEsmeMusic.com.
