FOX17 TN Mornings, Unearthed

After Bonnaroo we were asked to play the morning show for our local FOX affiliate morning show. We finally got our hands on a digital copy of the performance and are happy to share it here. It is easily one of the oddest places we’ve been asked to perform but we’re pleased with the results. Enjoy!
