Thom sits down to talk to his friend and mentor Howard Libes. Howard was the manager for the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies during the explosion of the Zoot Suit Riot album and the band getting signed to Mojo Records.

Howard talks about why he ended up in Eugene and how the artist collective used to include a slew of anyone participating in creating art: Musicians, painters and writers. This got Howard into the musical circles with Steve Perry who formed the Daddies and went on to national success with his music.

Howard tells some captivating stories and offers insight into the music industry from back in the 90’s. Thom and Howard begin the comparing and contrasting in this episode, but do most of that in Part 2 which will be out next week.

Enjoy this fun and insightful look into the history of our extended Elemental Records family.
