This the second and final part of this Podcast with Mike Stern where we discuss his new album -”Who Let The Cats Out” (released on Heads Up Records) . The Podcast covers some background to how it all came about and the musicians he worked with on the project.
I really could have talked to Mike for hours - as well as being one of the worlds best guitarist; he is also a down to earth, humble and very genuine person. I look forward to interviewing him again in the future to find out what other projects he is up to.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
