Episode 118- Cody Jasper, singer of Moon Fever! I first found about this band while researching my interview with producer Jim Kaufman (The Black Moods, Them Evils). I quickly became a fan after hearing their song “Cocaine” which is nearing a half a million downloads on Spotify. They have a new single out now called “Cheap Thrills” that’s also really good, and an upcoming song called “Payphone” that should be big. They have performed with Buckcherry and have shows lined up with Adelita’s Way. It was fun to get to know Cody’s story while doing this interview.
