March Forth with Mike Bauman

Episode 9: Andy Langston

In this episode of March Forth, Mike chats with his buddy Andy Langston! Mike has known Andy since they were freshmen in high school, and he's one of the most musically inclined (if not the most musically inclined) people he knows. From the drums, to guitar, to singing and recording, Andy has done it all, and he's done it in multiple bands across multiple genres.
After their lives took them in different directions over the past couple years, Mike and Andy catch up on this podcast, talking everything from how Andy got into music, the different bands he's been in over the years, artists they dig but discovered later in life, their favorite concerts, and more. Andy was also kind enough to share a personal song he wrote called "Passing Clouds."
As always, keep the faith and be kind to one another. Thanks for listening!
