Tony Erba is legendary (and much talked about) for his insane stage presence and incredible bands - from Face Value all the way through to Fuck You Pay Me, but of all the conversation, little is mentioned about how Tony makes a living and the role that work plays in his life. In this in-depth dive into the world of Mechanical Insulation, unions and Cleveland (along with some great music talk as well) we get into how a guy who just wanted to play in a band and tour incessantly looks back at it all - pride, accomplishments and regrets. Of course it’s funny as hell as well. Enjoy!
