Food Group is an amazing band. You check ’em out.
Hey, everybody! Mike TV here. Long time listener. First time caller. Wait…what? Anyway, a friend of mine, Eric Lyday, is the principle songwriter for a band called Food Group, here in Austin Texas.

Probably because I just got back from the road. But, the awesome thing is, it’s a town I am quickly falling in love with. I mean, sure, More…
