Ep.31 - Dave Tosti (Pax217) “I Was Definitely Drawn to Wild Expression”
The Rawkwardness Podcast
We interview awesome musicians about why and how they first started playing music, they play us one of the first songs they ever wrote and we chat about their journey from awkward adolescent to enterprising adult. Along the way we talk pop culture, teen angst, nostalgia, personal growth and other tangential topics. We laugh, we cry, we get rawkward. Because Everyone Starts Somewhere.
