In this episode, I sit down with percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Otto Hauser. We discuss his childhood and college years, his early introduction to percussion, his years back in Rochester working at a record store and playing in various bands, and his journey into the world of the "New Weird America" / "freak folk" music scene(s).
