Episode 10 - Blake Jones

A few weeks ago I sat down with a pillar of Fresno's music scene, Blake Jones of Trike Shop fame, and we talked about some of the changes that have occurred in Fresno's creative community over the years, and how working in Fresno can open up more doors creatively than it can in bigger cities.

Also, this was recorded prior to the Rogue Festival so ignore the plugs for that, but Blake has tons of new stuff going on!

Currently they're working on raising the funds for a tour of England in May! You can help them out with that at their Kickstarter.com page.
