Brian Walsby on NPR

Since moving to Raleigh in 1986, Triangle music veteran Brian Walsby has built quite the reputation. He counts among his musical credits Patty Duke Syndrome (Ryan Adams' pre-Whiskeytown rock band), Polvo and the ATP-bound Double Negative. He's releasing a compilation of songs from his old bands, Siberian, Daddy and The Patty Duke Syndrome, called Brushes With Fame, which comes with a three-page booklet of background on the bands.

But he's also a reputed cartoonist, whose book series Manchild was greenlighted for a fourth issue last month.

Walsby was also featured on Frank Stasio's NPR show, "The State of Things," yesterday. Downloadable and streamable audio is now available online.
