Podcast | Indie Fest performers Chris McGinnis and Paleface

On this week’s Friends of the Rant podcast, Gordon interviews Asheville’s Chris McGinnis, whose music has been described as “Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century,” as well as Paleface, whose career in the music industry goes back to the 1980s and who tours full time with his partner and drummer Mo. Both are slated to perform at Carolina Indie Fest at Hugger Mugger Brewing in downtown Sanford on May 10 and 11.
