There are few Huntington families that are as musically gifted and universally loved as the Campion family.  In Episode 2, I’m privileged to sit down with Kevin Campion, lifelong Deadhead and current lead singer for Huntington’s own Soghat.  

Kevin takes us back to the late 70’s when he got on the bus, and explains how today he pays tribute to his late brother, “Hollywood Bob”, by sitting in as the front man in Bob’s Grateful Dead cover band, Skeleton Crew, in Southern California.  We paint the picture of just how much a select few Jerry ballads mean to each of us, including Black Peter, Wharf Rat, Stella Blue and Attics of My Life.  

We share how each of us treasure the memories of our beloved brothers and recall how each of them paved the way for us by breaking in our parents ;)  The episode is the first of two conversations that will include the Campion brothers.  Next up, younger brothers Chris and Billy of the Knockout Drops and Bogmen, respectively.  Join us, and let’s see where the energy takes us! #IFE
