More on Jimmer:

Jimmer Podrasky is best-known as the frontman/songwriter for the critically-acclaimed American band The Rave-Ups, whose EP “Class Tramp” and albums “Town and Country,” “The Book of Regrets” and “Chance” still have a devoted following more than twenty years after their release. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in 1980, Podrasky headed west and quickly made a name for himself as an alt country/indie-rock tunesmith and singer. With the Rave-Ups, Podrasky appeared in the iconic “Pretty in Pink” and on “Beverly Hills 90210.”

“The Would Be Plans” is his first official release in 23 years.

“The Moth” recently chose Jimmy Krenn as one of their featured storytellers, highlighting his “Church Latin” story on their YouTube page. Read a note from Jimmy and watch (and share) the video below: Read More »
