Acoustic Brunch June 22, 2014

Summer's here!  A correction to something I said on the show today. Wayward Roots are not at Top of the Park on Wednesday.  Jason Dennie, however is at the Grove Stage on July 2 and since he starts each show and is now a member of Wayward Roots, you need to know that!
