In this episode of the podcast I spoke to one of my best friends, Dan Poorman. Dan is a bass player out of Syracuse, New York. We both attended SUNY Purchase together and the night we met our lives changed forever... he was performing with a campus-wide renowned band called Murder By Scooter. They have one full length record out on bandcamp aptly named "Overzealous". I visited him at his apartment when he was getting ready to perform with the High Divers at Funk n Waffles with his new project, Trauma Cat. We go through Dan's early education, his college experience, and his current status as a bass player and writer in Central NY. This marks the last episode of season 1 of this podcast and what a season it has been! Thank you so much for all the support.
