Live From RSD Summer Camp 2022, with Dawn Richard and John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats) Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Every year, the people who put together Record Store Day have their big meeting in New Orleans which they call RSD Summer Camp. This year, Paul Myers hosted the Key Note, an onstage conversation with two Merge recording artists; NOLA local Dawn Richard, and The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle. Somehow, our pristine recording of this wonderful chat got lost or destroyed (we never found out) but we *did* manage to find a "bootleg" of the event, which we cleaned up a little so you can hear it here. Plus, RSD co-founder Carrie Colliton explains the whole Summer Camp thing. For the latest RSD news, go to RecordStoreDay.com

The Mountain Goats' Bleed Out and Dawn Richard's Second Line are in stores now from Merge Records.
