In this week’s episode, Anthony Ihrig and Mother Banjo talk with veteran country guitarist Dan Gaarder, formerly of the band Trailer Trash, who revisits the band’s 2002 Christmas album All Lit Up. He joins us with a tin of Danish butter cookies, talks about the inspiration behind these festive holiday originals, and shares some hilarious stories about the band recording in a garage in the heat of summer.
