To close out the show this week, we are playing a song with soccer connections and a bit of UK flavor. Tom Wardle is an artist originally from Nottingham, England, and now resides in Brooklyn, New York. The song is called "Secret", and was recorded by Tom along with members of the Brian Wilson band of Beach Boys fame. The song was embraced by Nottingham Forest F.C., and was used as the soundtrack to a campaign which became very popular with their fan base.  While Tom is a true international performer, he loves the Austin music scene and would love to play more in our neck of the woods. You can hear more of Tom's work at http://www.tomwardlemusic.com .
If you’d like to send us music to use in the pod or know some musicians who might be interested, drop us an email at [email protected]. We’d love to showcase more Austin music and musicians to Austin soccer fans.
This episode was hosted by Matt Barbour, Conor Heffernan, and Mark Turner.
