My guest for this episode is vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Ted Leonard, who is the front man for Spock's Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals, and Enchant. Ted and his Spock's Beard mates are set to release the band's 14th studio album (the fourth since Ted came in to replace Nick D'Virgilio as vocalist after the latter left the band). The Archaeoptimist drops Friday from Madfish Music. Ted talks about the big influence Ryo Okumoto had in writing the album, the many references to classic Spock's Beard songs sprinkled throughout the tracks, the status of Enchant as a band, his musical background, and much more. Find out more about the new album at spocksbeard.com.
