T.J. Aubuchon Live In Studio!

By Tom Lounges
Published March 21, 2024 at 3:30 PM CDT

My guest this evening is Northwest Indiana singer/songwriter T.J. AUBUCHON whose debut CD -- "EDGE OF NIGHT" landed at #8 on my 2022 annual listing -- Tom's Top 10 Regional Albums of the Year -- published in The Northwest Indiana Times daily newspaper.

Tonight on the program, Aubuchon will talk about the CD, his songwriting, how and why he got into music, and his plans moving forward.

Bringing along his guitar to the Lakeshore studio, the artist will perform solo acoustic live on the air, treating the Midwest BEAT audience to a few of his newer songs. Tom will also spin a couple of the tracks from the "EDGE OF NIGHT" release.
