Thank you Dan Crisler at the OWH for the great article about CAKE and the event! The link will let you get to the full article without subscription (thanks you, Omaha World-Herald)

We like these lines best : The multigenerational pairing should make for a strong show, the Cake singer added. “Smokey’s songwriting sort of transcends genres,” McCrea said. “We maybe don’t have a cultural throughline. His songs are really solid and hopefully some of ours are as well.”
