Van Sessions 2.3 - Melody Pulsipher

Van Sessions 2.3 with Melody Pulsipher. 4 acoustic songs sung in a van down by the railroad tracks in association with Ogden City Arts and Ogden's First Friday Art Stroll. 

Mr. Goodyear's Neighborhood - Aura Rhodes, Even Stevens

Even Stevens is just a little sandwich shop in Ogden.  Up until a couple of weeks ago, they didn’t even have a parking lot.  This little sandwich shop, with fantastic tater tots by the way, has donated 50,000 sandwiches to Ogden’s local non-profits organizations since April. Even Stevens might be little, but they’re a big deal in Ogden. 

Van Sessions 2.2 - Caleb Cross

Van Sessions 2.2 Caleb Cross. Never in a band, and a self taught musician, Caleb excels at song writing and expressing himself through his art. With no other recorded tracks, this Van Sessions episode is the only way to hear Caleb play unless you happen to hang out with him in his living room. Caleb hung around to play a bonus track, so stick around to the end for the extra song. 
Van Sessions is a podcast where we cram musicians in a van down by the railroad tracks at Ogden's Union Station, and play an acoustic set intermingled with candid conversation about the music, the process, and industry.
