Hello friends! Singer, songwriter, guitar player, and co-founder of Wang Chung, Jack Hues is my guest for episode 1386! Wang Chung is kicking off  headlining their Abducted By The 80's Tour of the U.S. right here in Austin next Friday, May 17th at The Railhouse in Kyle with shows in Houston and Dallas that weekend.

Jack and I have a great conversation about the Abducted By The 80's Tour, their orchestral album ORCHESOGRAPHY recorded in Prague in the Czech Republic featuring rchestral versions of the hits and other lesser known Wang Chung songs, a new greatest hits and rarities collection Clear Light Dark Matter (out in Sept.), the history of Wang Chung, scoring the William Friedkin movie "To Live and Die in L.A.", the cultural impact of "Everybody Have Fun Tonight", keeping Wang Chung going with co-founder Nick Feldman for over 40 years, guitar sounds, his incredible solo music (listen HERE) and his jazz group, Jack Hues & The Quartet (listen HERE), staying inspired, the music business, and much more! I had a great time getting to know Jack. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
