Ganser
Ganser is a Chicago-based band who make great music, but have some very bad luck. In 2020 they finished their ambitious full length, Just Look At That Sky, and bought a van two weeks before COVID lockdowns began. Still they're building a national fanbase and have released a new EP, Nothing You Do Matters. Alicia Gaines is one of the group's vocalists and bassist. She joins Jim and Greg for a wide-ranging conversation.

Dear Listeners,
For more than 15 years, Sound Opinions was a production of WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station. Now that the show is independent, we're inviting you to join the band and lend a hand! We need your support more than ever because now we have to do all the behind-the-scenes work that WBEZ handled before (like buying insurance and paying for podcast hosting, ugh). Plus, we have some exciting ideas we'd like to try now that there's no one to tell us no!
