Premiering on The ’59 Sound almost a week before its public release, The Querencia is Seafair’s self-released, debut record; a glorious melding of elements of classical, rock and indie pop that has to be heard to be believed. After the album, Andrea, Josh, Mike and Tara joined me in studio for an interview about their new album and upcoming record release show at The Grog Shop on May 23, as well as contributing tracks to the second hour’s playlist.
