This year, the Gone Ghosts are releasing an EP called “Vagabond for Life,” with new recordings of songs originally recorded by Hedeman and Kenney’s earlier band The Vagabond Union. The first single, “Breakdown,” drops this weekend – and the Gone Ghosts stopped by 97.9 The Hill to play the song live in our studio.
