We’re all about the big shows and one big new project today. Previews of some stellar upcoming events, and then a chat with Jaxon Haldane about The Willie P Bennett Legacy Project, which aims to protect and promote the amazing, but under-appreciated legacy of the late, great Willie P Bennett. This is truly a wonderful project, and one that I can’t endorse highly enough. Please check it out: www.willieplegacy.com
