One of the most inventive musicians I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of knowing is Sxip Shirey who grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and went on to became one of the world\u2019s most beloved performers of unusual musical instruments.

From the tampon applicator \u201ctamponaphone\u201d to a John Cage inspired Prepared Guitar, Sxip has traveled the world as a solo artist, circus performer and composer and now has a brand new album A Bottle of Whiskey and a Handful of Bees.

Today, my soul brother Sxip Shirey joins us to talk about his amazing journey traveling the globe with Amanda Palmer, the Bindlestiff Family Circus, Evelyn Evelyn, the Luminescent Orchestrii, Pe.A.Ch. (The Performance Art Church) and that one time we started a rainbow spaghetti food fight at Lollapalooza.
