Fruit Bats Go On The JamBase Podcast

The JamBase Podcast recently spoke to Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats, who brought the site up to speed on some recent and exciting musical collaborations. At this year’s Newport Folk Festival, writes JamBase in a description of the episode, “Johnson shared the stage with the legendary Judy Collins as well as James Mercer of The Shins, Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes and others including Benmont Tench, Janet Weiss, Jason Isbell, John Stiratt and Chris Funk.” Find out what that was like right here.
