We switch back to the long-form format in this episode to pay homage to the Bazaar Cafe.  Owners Les and Makiko are retiring after 20 wonderful years running this very special venue.

Finch Files-Bye Bye Bazaar (Episode 114)

Welcome to the Lemme Listen family of podcast productions!

SAN FRANCISCO INDIE-ROCKER nerd Megan Slankard and her band The Wreckage have independently sold over 40,000 copies of five self-released albums and are currently planning consecutive releases of a brand new double-EP project in 2022. Pre-pandemic, Megan packed 2018 and 2019 with over 10 months of touring, including a 50-show Guitar Center tour with BOSE Professional, and a cross-country tour supporting Toad the Wet Sprocket. Megan was a finalist the 2021, 2020, and 2018 Unsigned Only Competition, a finalist in the 2020 and 2018 International Songwriting Competition, and a finalist in the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards. She won first place in the 2017 Unsigned Only Music Competition (AAA Category) for a punk song she wrote, record, and performed herself in her kitchen, smack dab in the middle of San Francisco. (Sorry neighbors.)

Peter Finch is the producer and host of "The Finch Files:  Stories from San Francisco and Beyond."
