The guys sat down this week for a chat with the legendary vocalist (and fitness guru) from Shadows Fall, Overcast and Downpour, the one and only Brian Fair. They talk about sports (with balls and discs of all shapes,) Brian’s long musical history, Derek groping Brian’s junk in years past, Phish, and the mechanics of what it takes to maintain a voice over the course of almost 40 years of fronting heavy bands.
