Ep.41 - Kevin Garrett “A Screaming Pole Cat”

It’s the premiere of Season 3! Rose, Terence, and Tony visit Nashville, and interview smooth-voiced and smooth-faced crooner Kevin Garrett about the artistic value of writing on paper, singers that yell, getting his very first placement on Beyonce’s Lemonade album, being a quality over quantity guy, and always sending the email.
