What’s in a name? Well, for many songwriters, it seems there is quite a bit! Across all music genres there are songs named after people: Maria, Jenny, Jack, Barbara Ann, Mack, Mandy, Jolene, Danny Boy, Dulcinea, and so many more. From Broadway to Pop to Country to Swing, join Jen, Andrew, and special guest Doug Anderson as they sing and play an eclectic mix of songs with names as their titles. 80% Music + 20% comedy = 100% Fun!
