Barry Tashian of The Remains Interviewed Live on WMBR's Lost & Found Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Barry Tashian of The Remains is scheduled to be interviewed by telephone by host Eli Polonsky and guest DJ former "Lost & Found" host "Mighty Slim" at 1:00 PM! The Remains formed in 1964 while attending Boston University, and became a popular live Rock'n'Roll act in Boston and New England. In 1965 they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and Hullabaloo. In 1966, The Remains were the opening act for The Beatles on their final tour, but the band broke up shortly after. Barry's prolific work as a sideman included Gram Parsons' first album in 1973, and as a member of Emmylou Harris' band through the '80s. Barry and his wife Holly, as Barry & Holly Tashian, have also enjoyed a successful career as an award-winning country, folk and bluegrass duo since 1972. Sought after as one of the pioneering "garage rock" bands of the '60s, The Remains began occasionally reuniting to perform in the '90s through the present, and will be performing one of their rare reunion concerts with The Lyres, The Cal Cali Band, and Muck & The Mires at ONCE Ballroom in Somerville on Friday, May 13!

Location: 88.1 FM
