Today we're giving thanks to the act that has united communities, broken boundaries, and salvaged many a holiday season since the dawn of time: day drinking. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Chris LaRocca joins us at the bar today as we get to the square root of the math rock genre, construct a biopic dream cast, and discuss his debut album, i cried my eyes out. Which reminds us- speaking of dread, make sure to write down our 'Mood' playlist recommendations for the commute back to your parent's house. Gotta lock in that 'cool cousin' slot before it's too late. *Please drink responsibly* Manic Maple 2oz Bourbon 3/4 oz of Lemon Juice 1/2 oz of Maple Syrup Ginger Beer Cinnamon Nutmeg Cinnamon Stick Lemon Slice Shake bourbon, lemon juice, and maple syrup with ice.
