SMI Radio Ep. 61 On Demand: Deep Sea Diver / Chris Cunningham (Ravenna Woods)

By Greg Roth on May 17, 2012@WeRideWhy

Friday night, May 18th, Deep Sea Diver and Ravenna Woods share a bill at Capital Hill’s Nuemos. We will be there to cover the show.

Last week, I spoke to Deep Sea Diver’s Jessica Dobson, Peter Mansen, and John Rains. We discussed the group’s musical influences and inspirations. Jessica also talks about the distinctions between working with her band, Deep Sea Diver, and The Shins and The Shins upcoming tour.

Deep Sea Diver has also been tapped to perform at Bumbershot 2012. Get a taste with tracks from the newest Deep Sea Diver release, “History Speaks.”
