Mt. Joy’s frontman, Matt Quinn, joins Will and Rusty for a special bonus playdate. Matt shares what Mt. Joy is up to, talks about writing songs like “Julia” and “Jenny Jenkins,” and tells stories from the road. He opens up about his time at the Fiserv Forum and participates in a classic game of “Name that Johnson.” We hope you enjoy this extra episode – we’ll be back to our regular programming next Wednesday!
