“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.


This week, we’re going to continue on with some more 80s deep diving with pat mAcdonald from the band Timbuk3.  The band is most well known for their 1986 hit “The Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades,” but they were far more prolific than just that one song.  They released six albums in the decade between 1986 and 1995 and pat went on to record numerous other albums and collaborated with artists as varied as Cher, Jackson Browne, and Stewart Copeland of the Police.
