## Resource

Having seen Rachel play drums for Califone on their recent UK tour, we felt compelled to reach out to her. This conversation with Rachel far exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled to share it with you. Sincere thanks to Rachel for making time to speak with us and indulging some of our fanboy questions! We'd like to dedicate this episode to Rachel's friend and musical collaborator, Michael Hurley who recently passed away. Love and thanks Ben and Steve xx https://www.rachelblumberg.com/ Califone Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
