On this episode, meet emerging genre/generation-blending San Francisco band The 5 Highs - a group of musicians who bonded in a rehearsal studio parking lot after discovering they didn't like the other bands they were in (LOL). Meet founding members Tata and Mellow, hear their story and dive deep into their new music. Plus, two full hours of fresh tunes from the Bay and beyond.
