Cactus Tractor featured on KUNM’s “Ear to the Ground”
This Saturday, the KUNM radio program “Ear to the Ground” played a 40-minute segment of our music and some interview with us (and Paul’s grumblings, and Matthew dropping a drumstick during a sensitive moment, and other wonders of live recording). Here is a link to their page of the show, and on our video page you…
