Episode 593: Transmusic Airwaves Presents Chris and Tony Cuda

Transmusic Airwaves

Transmusic Airwaves presents the music of northeast Ohio natives and ProgNation founders, Chris and Tony Cuda. This will be a trip down early Prog, Jazz and Classical influences, while exploring close friendships with guitarists Alan Holdsworth and Bill DeArango. John Wasylko conducted the bulk of the interview, with Jeff Wootton assisting. This interview program is divided into two sections, the first explores the Cuda’s background and influences, while the second part focuses on their own music directions. The Cuda brothers will be opening for violinist David Cross’s Lark's Tongues Band on Friday, October 11th at the Treelawn Music Hall near the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland Ohio.
