For decades, liner notes meant everything to music fans.
As you listened to a new record or CD, you really got to know the artist through printed lyrics, photos and shout-outs to other artists they loved.
Our new Liner Notes video series aims to bring back those fascinating experiences. Only this time, we're not getting the info from a booklet, we're getting it directly from the artists we love.
Host Peter Mills sits down with local musicians for the series. You'll see an in-depth interview and song performance by local artists in unique locations to learn more about them, their stories and their music.
