Well, we descended from the diaspora, so it’s only fitting that the diaspora we should become. The music and stories stay with us though, passed down generation by generation like some sort of offset homesickness for a place we don’t know. Just as with the land, they work their way into our blood and our bones and become the bits we hold close so as to always know from where we started.

Tonight we’re talking to Matt Derda and exploring the route from Eastern Ky straight to Chicago. With a meld like “Old Style beer plus Bourbon” you know the guys have got some smooth tunes for us. Come join us as we talk about their music, their journey, and their future. You won’t be disappointed!
