The Jam with Jonathan Shank

Robert Walter and Karl Denson have been playing together in the Greyboy Allstars since the 1990s. From jazz clubs to jamband afterparties to their careers as sidemen for Roger Waters and The Rolling Stones, they've seen it all. Here, they speak with Jonathan about the early days of the GBAs, learning to play in front of hippie crowds, and how the music brings them back together over and over.

Jonathan's guest this week is up and coming phenom Daniel Donato. Daniel has been gigging since he was a young man busking on Broadway in Nashville, putting in the hours playing night after night at famed honky tonk Robert's. Listen to Daniel and Jonathan chat about country, the Grateful Dead, funk, and how he blends it all into a special brew he calls "Cosmic Country."
