He plays in all the bands and eats all the BBQ. Jason Narducy: From Verboten to Split Single (and all points in between) – Episode 281

Jason Narducy (Bob Mould, Split Single, Superchunk, Verbow, Verboten, Jason and Alison, so much more) met me for conversation and THE MOTHERLOAD at City Barbeque in Park Ridge (123 N Northwest Pkwy, Park Ridge, IL 60068). City Barbeque basically set us up with one of everything. I’m still wrestling with the meat sweats as I type this.

Advance warning: Verboten: The Musical is opening January 26th at the Chopin Theatre!
