Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience.

This episode features an interview with Jim Keller, co-founder of Tommy Tutone and co-writer of the 80s sensation, "867-5309/Jenny." But Jim is way more than an 80s icon -- and in this conversation, while we do talk about what it was like to jam what is possibly the most famous phone number in rock, we spend time talking about Jim's deep devotion to the live music jam scene and his collection of musician friends he affectionately calls The Usual Mess. Jim has also been managing the career of the classical composer Phillip Glass for over 30 years so this guy has covered some major ground.
