Surviving the Storm: The Resilient Journey of The Continental Drifters

Sean Kelly & Mark Walton are this episode’s guests. Sean is the author of White Noise & Lightning: The Continental Drifters Story, the authorized biography of the Continental Drifters due September 27th. Mark is the band’s bassist and founding member. The book follows ten disparate musicians from humble beginnings at a dive bar residency in Los Angeles through lineup changes, addiction, marriages, divorces, and industry letdowns. 

The Continental Drifters, composed of members of The Bangles, The Cowsills, The Dream Syndicate, The dB's, and more, found each because they'd been burned by the music industry and sought refuge in a freewheeling environment where they could experiment without constraint. When everything fell apart in New Orleans a decade later, they ended up with so much more.
