Ep. 29: Adam Lazzara - Taking Back Sunday

Episode 29 of the For The Burgh Podcast features my favorite singer from my favorite band of all time, Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday! Adam and I run thru every TBS album, and he gives us his favorite songs from each record. We also talk about some demos/B-sides that didn't quite make the cut on a couple records. I ask how he turned a simple mic swing on stage into a legit art form and how other members of the band steered clear of the mic during shows. We talk about Adam's solo work along with some songs he's been featured on by other artists, and how he would like to pursue a career in musical engineering in the near future. He shows a ton of Pittsburgh love and recalls a few Pittsburgh show memories like the time he knocked his front tooth out with the microphone in Pittsburgh and the time he broke up a fight and kicked the guy out of the show during an outdoor show. Also be sure to check out Adam's solo live stream concert on Saturday, October 17th where he will be playing original songs, cover songs and TBS deep cuts!
