The Penny Jam EP 10 – Eric John Kaiser in Yarnia

It’s hard to believe that we’ve already got 10 episodes of the Penny Jam out. We’ve actually filmed 13 now – Sleep, Laura Gibson and Mattress are in the editing phase. We were really happy with how the following episode turned out, Eric kindof tricked us into doing a 2 song set but we didn’t …
