Have you ever bought tickets to see a band that you really liked, and then ended up liking the opening band even better than the main act? The only time that's happened to me was when I saw Wesley Jensen and the Penny Arcade opening for another band. I'd never really heard their music, but they put on such a great live show that it was actually more memorable to me than the main act (who was still great).
This song is from the band's first of four EP's they plan to release this year ("Something Old"). It's about missing friends who've moved away (in this case to do humanitarian work), but also about wanting to do more with your life. It's a tremendous little song that is sure to brighten your day.

About the curator - Becky Welch
Becky has been a music-obsessed, compulsive playlist maker and live music enthusiast for as long as she can remember. Few things delight her more than sharing music and geeking out with people who care as much about it as she does. She plays piano and “plays” the ukulele and guitar. She likes almost every genre but is mostly drawn to fun songs that make her dance with abandon.
