Jeff Barsky aka Insect Factory (Bedmaker, Shadow Riot) graces the astro stage in episode 14 of Live from the Avant Garden! In the first part of the show, Jeff talks about sharing his hands on Kibbutzim and on fretboards for acts such as Time is Fire and his (sometimes) solo project Insect Factory. In the second part of the show, we get an exclusive acoustic improv performance by Insect Factory. We also get some other 'sclusies like our largest audience yet including cameos from Bonnie Schlegel, Antonia Tricarico and Joe Lally! V.J. even joins in on the fun for a guitar duet on the last tune! This is an episode to get lost in!
