Pop Till We Drop: Al Church and his many incarnations
As a member of at least six Minnesota bands and three tribute groups, Al Church epitomizes the restless local musician with many many musician friends.
Al sat down with co-hosts Tess Weinberg and Alex Gaterud to chat about his upcoming new solo album, "Next Summer."
The record, which drops on March 13 and will be celebrated with a show at the Turf Club in St. Paul, is awash in '80s-style keyboards, saxophones and smoothness.
Given Al's tribute band involvement, the conversation also touched on the proliferation of cover bands in Minnesota music right now.
