The Tony Kamel Interview: Texas Songwriting, His Grandmother, and the New Album, "We're All Gonna Live"

On this AmericanaMusic.com Podcast we're excited to have Grammy nominated Tony Kamel  frontman and songwriter for the band Wooden Wire, he's releasing his solo album We're All Gonna Live, April 18th. An amazing singer-songwriter who plays a clawhammer banjo, harmonica, and acoustic guitar on the album, his approach of mixing, songwriting, and philosophy stem right out of the Woody Guthrie playbook.
