About this show
The day Brian Wilson wrote “God Only Knows,” was it the same process Johnny Rotten went through with “God Save the Queen” or when the Wild Tchoupitoulas convened and threw down “Big Chief Got a Golden Crown”? The songwriting process contains many secrets and mysteries – and in the fertile sonic region of Southeastern Connecticut, there’s no shortage of intriguing composers. Music writer/strange-person Rick Koster and videographer/producer Peter Huoppi take to the rehearsal rooms and nightclub stages hoping to discover the Fountain of Muse bubbling inside our local musicians.
