interview: 500 Miles to Memphis
Tune into WMSE as Cincinnati band 500 Miles to Memphis visits the studios for a chat with Paul before their show at Cactus Club later that night. The band is set to play with Faux Fiction, Mutts and Bootleg Bessie.
Formed in 2003, the boys of 500 Miles to Memphis came together on the banks of the Ohio River between Cincinnati, OH and Newport, KY. Their genre-bending take on Americana and punk rock has been received worldwide in the form of movies, tv, video games, and their award-winning live shows. Logging 250 performances a year, these indie road kings have been to hell and back. After taking a short break from touring in 2017, 500mtm has jumped back in the studio to deliver their 5th studio album with Old 97’s producer John Pedigo at the legendary Gwynne Sound in Cincinnati. If you are a fan of high octane punk rock, bluegrass, and Appalachia, these boys are for you – check out their most recent record; it just came out in January!
