Stranger Tunes - Episode 12 - Sufjan Stevens - Chicago

Welcome to the twelfth episode of Stranger Tunes, a series in which I get a few strangers to play along to a song I send them. These people also have no idea who they’re playing with until the episode is released. Usually the guests are strangers to each other, but this episode is a little different in that I invited singer songwriter Jim 'Small Town' Jones to send me a song, and then built up the band using people that HE doesn’t know. On drums we have Andy Davis. Andy was the drummer during the second half of my time with Why? back in the 90s. On keys we have Kevin Spurgeon. I met Kevin on tour in Sweden where he was playing with one of my major influences, Ian Prowse and his band Amsterdam (formerly Pele). On bass and trumpet we have two of my current band mates Tom Granville and John Hare respectively. On violin we have Izzy Barber, and on vocals we have my daughter Flo Parker Bombosch. Last but of course not least, we have Jim’s daughter Immy joining us on vocals. Mixed and mastered by Dave Draper.
