With a new album out this week and an album-release show Friday at Cats Cradle Back Room, Dave Hedeman and the Gone Ghosts joined Aaron on Live & Local!

The Gone Ghosts are only about four years old, but Dave Hedeman has been a veteran of the music scene for decades. After years on the road in the 90s, Hedeman moved to Florida and took a break from music – but then a chance encounter with Jason Isbell in 2008 spurred him to pick up his guitar again, and the rest is history.

Learn more about the band at their website, TheGoneGhosts.com.

The new release, “No Voice to the Wicked,” is the band’s first full-length album, though they did release an acclaimed self-titled EP in 2019.

Dave Hedeman and Justin Bowlin joined Aaron on 97.9 The Hill to chat about the album, the upcoming show, the merits of Carrboro’s Nightsound Studios, and more. They also played three songs: “Not Coming Back,” “Cannonball,” and “Far Away.” Listen below:
