In this week’s bonus episode, Marcy sits down with Lovett Hines, Artistic Director of the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts (and former House of Prayer band member), to discuss his own musical upbringing in the church, as well as how he sees the tradition of shout music in the world today.
