Common Rotation

From ANDRAS JONES: DAN BERN wrote a bunch of the songs for the JOHN C. REILLY film “Walk Hard” in which he played the character Dewey Cox, a Johnny Cash type rock and roll icon, and when I got in touch with Reilly’s representatives in the spring of 2010 saying I was doing a show […]
