SMI Radio Ep. 31 On Demand: The BGP and Carson & Tess Henley

By Greg Roth on August 18, 2011@WeRideWhy

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to sit down with The BGP backstage at their homecoming show at The Crocodile in The Emerald City a few weeks back. The band recently performed and Elton John classic, Bennie & The Jets in front of a national TV audience on NBC’s Americas Got Talent. They opened for the pop and soul sensations, Fitz and The Tantrums this past October at the Crocodile. Not only are these cats great musical artists but they are good people and devoted fathers and husbands. They put on a killer show in front of their hometown fans. The best is yet to come from this blue eyed soul outfit.

In addition to seeing and talking with The BGP at the Crocodile, I also met up with brother and sister Carson and Tess Henley. They are getting ready to head to Philly next month to work on their next project.
