Middle School Happy Hour
Middle school is a super wacko time when youβre figuring out who you are and why your body is betraying you, and music can be a huge part of that experience. On Middle School Happy Hour, we have (grown-up) guests on each week to discuss who they were in middle school β popular? stinky? terrified of kids your own age? β in between musical selections that shaped their middle school days.
