089 - Three Pianos by Andrew McMahon

Published: March 2, 2022, 8 a.m.

In Episode 89, Gen and Jette chat about their first book club book of the year, Three Pianos by Andrew McMahon. Get your inner emo kid ready! This memoir is an emotional and beautifully written account of McMahon's life. It begins with his childhood and takes the reader through his life as a musician, experienced through the lens of his relationship with three different pianos.

Yes, it's as incredible as it sounds. We hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did! You know we have Everything In Transit on repeat now.
