Episode 30: Christmas with the Smithereens album preview (Drummer Dennis Diken)

Journey to the Stage with Bryan Frazier

I was overjoyed to welcome back to the artists throne the one and only Dennis Diken! Dennis and I chat about the rerelease of the wonderful album, "Christmas with the Smithereens." Dennis takes us back in time and shares stories about the songs they selected, recording and the what this album means to the band, both then and now. We play a couple of tracks and talk about waking up Christmas morning to streets of snow and cold outside, and the latest Beatles album under the tree! This will be a fun listen for any Smithereens fan!

This album streams everywhere, but DO NOT miss out on the special LIMITED EDITION Christmas green vinyl and CD, which can be found here: https://www.officialsmithereens.com/store

There are MANY more great Smithereens items, ready to ship for the holidays- and FREE shipping for US orders.
