In Episode 91 of The Morgan You Know podcast, Rod, Kate, Matt Record, Melissa Leary, and newcomer Dax Storm (yes, that’s his real name) created their versions of the best five piece band in an epic fantasy draft.
In each round, participants were asked to select a member of their band. It did not matter the order in which guests drafted their band members, only that they filled the roles of lead singer, lead guitarist, bassist, drummer, and keyboardist (or wildcard) by the end of the draft. The draft order was pre-selected at random by producer Jim Jamriska.
The Bands that were chosen (and named by each participant) are as follows:
“Texas Forever (Except You, Ted Cruz)” - Kate Morgan
Lead Singer: Janis Joplin Lead Guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan Bassist: Larry Graham Drummer: Ginger Baker Keyboardist: Steve Winwood
“Funk You Up” - Melissa Leary
