Host Marla Davies talks with Vinnie Dombroski from Sponge who performed at the July Mini-Fest (Formerly the Herd Immunity Festival) in Wisconsin July 16-19, 2020. This was the first rock festival featuring major acts to take place since the pandemic started. You'll hear a first-hand account from Vin about his experience at the Festival, speculations about how small clubs can survive this pandemic, how Sponge has survived and thrived since the 1990's and Vinnie's love of amps and loud music.
