Well Hello there, and welcome to Cover Song Tuesday! This week’s feature song is The Gaslight Anthem’s “The ’59 Sound.” Please enjoy, and let us know what you think! This video will be the first of many to kick off a series of weekly acoustic cover songs, which we are calling “Cover Song Tuesday,” a selection of our bands all time favourite songs and tour jams, stripped down and filmed in our hotel rooms while we are on tour this summer. We have to do something with the down-time, so why not make it musical? Every Tuesday will feature a new acoustic song, and hopefully we will have a chance to introduce some surprise guests along the way! Visit our Youtube to see the videos as we build our collection
