BwGN AM Mixtape #78 – The Ida one (Deep Dive Series)

Boy with Girl's Name Morning Mixtape

With
✎…

This is the third of five deep dives into the discographies of some of my favorite artists. This mixtape spotlights the New York-based band Ida, who were active from 1992 to around 2010 or so, though they still perform once or twice a year. Led by principal songwriters and married couple Elizabeth Mitchell and Dan Littleton, the band has featured dozens of collaborators over the years, including Rick Lassiter, Miggy Littleton, Karla Schickele, Cecilia Littleton, Ruth Keating, Jean Cook, Tara Jane O’Neil, Cynthia Nelson, Ida Pearle, and numerous others. Thanks for listening!
