Lil' Drummer Girl

I recently was at my 3rd annual Reggae Rise Up Festival in downtown St. Petersburg when I had the chance to see the band HIRIE live in person (finally), I’ve been trying to catch them since I learned of them about 3 years ago.    Today we have a special guest, Kurtis Parsons, A/K/A “Conga Kurty” is in the house.   In his interview we talk about: How to survive on the road when you have severe food allergies and how they not only affect the body, but, the mind as well and what’s needed to stay fit while on tour. How his 6th grade teacher wouldn’t let him play percussion and wanted him to play the sax!  (Bad move teacher).  How you never know what life has in store for you and how to listen to signs. How he opened up his own organic juice bar in Mexico. How fate stepped into his path, how he met up with HIRIE when they were in town in Mexico and how they’ve been playing with them ever since. How he lives to surf and so much more.   So come on and take a listen.  Grab your ear buds, pour yourse
