Comedian Kurt Braunohler; Who Are Today's Rock Keyboardists?; Garage Rocker Ty Segall Goes Acoustic

Soundcheck | Aug 30, 2013

In this episode: Until his recent move to L.A., comedian Kurt Braunohler was one of the "50 Funniest New Yorkers" according to Time Out NY. Braunohler talks about his debut comedy album How Do I Land?.

Then, a listener recently asked us "Who are the Keith Emersons and Rick Wakemans of today?" It got us thinking who are the progressive rock keyboard stars of these days? We try to get to the bottom of it.

And the endlessly prolific garage rocker Ty Segall performs songs from his latest record Sleeper, a quietly intense, and mostly-acoustic reflection of his recent life.
