Season 3 - Ep. 1 - Former Presidents Of The USA Singer Chris Ballew Talks About His New Solo Career And More

Author: Powered By Rock August 1, 2022 Duration: 53:10

I am going to be speaking with the an alternative rock legend, a Seattle icon, formerly of the band The Presidents of the United States of America, the man himself, Chris Ballew.

This is one bad man when it comes to the world of rock n roll with multiple hit tracks, a multi-platinum record, and about 50 albums attributed to him over the last 30 years. That’s almost two albums a year for 30 years.

I am endlessly fascinated by Chris, and I can’t wait to discuss everything from his newest solo albums to his second career as a children’s song creator to…well, whatever the hell he wants to talk about, because I am here to listen to it all.

We’ll crack the egg of his knowledge and drink the musical yolk right after this!
