About this episode
On today's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to singer-songwriter Paul Burch, who went from performing in rock and indie bands in the Midwest to working the honky tonks on Lower Broadway. Burch tells us about his years performing at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, focusing on "post-war, pre-Elvis" music; his classic country music influences; how his songwriting and singing evolved; and his latest project, Meridian Rising , an imagined, musical autobiography of Jimmie Rodgers.
