Psychedelic, Pennsylvania

Posted on by The New Elastic Infinite

There’s so much great psychedelic music coming out of Pennsylvania. Today’s show was very difficult to curate because I didn’t know what to play and what to leave out!  For those of you who didn’t make the cut this time, there will surely be a next!  Special shout out and thanks to The Garment District, Night-People Records, Jennifer Baron, Evening Fires, and Sunrise Ocean Bender!
