Steve Frisbie, Gerald Dowd and Liam Davis have been playing together for years. We talked with them about their long-time gig as the First Time Three at the CHIRP radio storyteller event, as well as their time together as the great band Frisbie. We also talked about what each of them are up to in Chicago.

You can catch them on September 9th at Martyrs' for the next CHIRP First Time event - or every quarter (generally December, March, June & September).
