We started a podcast! Check it out! Help us out!
Episode 1 – 7/23/2019 – Lance interviews Alex about his song “Gonzales Lights”, the first track on the Rakers’ forthcoming album NUMBER FIVE. Anna does some voices and checks our facts and Leon explains how to trap an evil spirit with a pocketknife.
Here is a picture of Leon (left) at a wedding in Bunkie in 1969. Later that day, he would strip down to just those suit pants and groove to some bands he’d never heard of like Santana and the Grateful Dead at the New Orleans Pop Festival and get a very serious sunburn.
You still have time to contribute to our Kickstarter to get our next album NUMBER FIVE out to the people!
