No matter how closely you pay attention to a music scene, there are always a handful of bands that fly under your radar. This week’s guests, Chester Bay, falls right into that category as Courtney had to find out about this band via text message from an inebriated friend. The reggae-blues band took some time out before their sound check at O’Gara’s Garage in St. Paul, MN to sit in the patented Midwestern humidity to discuss their musical influences, randomly burst into song, and to promote their new album Get Free which was released this past Spring.
