Valley joins host Stephen Kallao

After the departure of their longtime lead guitarist, Toronto band Valley pressed the reset button, putting pen to paper immediately. Rob Laska and Karah [like Sarah] James join us to talk about how that experience taught the band how to press on. Valley will also play songs from their new album, Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden.

Listen to the session here.
