From The Vault - Episode 448: The Trishas (12/22/15)

Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today we go back to episode 448 with Americana music darlings, The Trishas. This show was originally released on 12/22/15. Below are my original notes from the episode.
My guests for episode 448 are Americana darlings, The Trishas! Yes. I know they're not currently "super-active" as a band, but I have been trying to get them on the show since I started it. Luckily they were playing some shows in New York, South Texas and Austin a few weeks ago and I got them to stop by bright and early one morning after a show. It was even more fun and hilarious than I imagined it would be. These are some of the most talented, hard working, prolific artists I know. they're also the most entertaining group of people to be around. I hope they work together more simply because something magical happens when they're together. I hope you enjoy my morning with The Trishas as much as I did. Let's get down!
