Encore: Scott McMicken on World Cafe
Scott McMicken had been working alone on his debut solo album for over a year and a half, when he realized something was missing.

That leap of faith resulted in a project called Scott McMicken and the Ever-Expanding. He joins us on the next World Cafe to explain why it was one of the best decisions he’s ever made.
