“It was ethereal.” - Amy McGrath on seeing Jeff Buckley in concert.

It’s that time for another episode of the Electric Radio Club series, Coffee & Cassettes, where I go record shopping with a music friend. It’s like Amoeba’s What’s In My Bag? mixed with Desert Island Discs.

One of the main reasons I began this series was to hear stories about musical experiences.

I’m far more interested in conversations with someone who has experienced an amazing performance or connected with a band compared to “I found them on TikTok.”

That’s what Coffee & Cassettes is all about: sharing music experiences that happened in real life and having discussions about the past, present and future of music.


In this month’s episode of Coffee and Cassettes, I went record shopping with music writer, . Amy shares stories about covering the Boston music scene in the 90s, the album that she thinks makes the best gift and witnessing the greatness of singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley on what would be his last tour.
