Jackalope Tales

Jackalope Tales pulls back the curtain on the strange, spooky, and sometimes shocking urban legends that lurk within the music industry. Hosts, and founding members of the platinum selling band Toadies, Charles Mooney and Lisa Umbarger explore the weird and wacky stories behind music's biggest names. Some legends are too bizarre to be true, while others may have a kernel of truth buried beneath the hype. You'll never listen to your favorite songs the same way again after you hear the outlandish myths behind them on Jackalope Tales.
