Rocker/songwriter Geri X called in to the show to share a tale about desert misery, talk briefly about herself and her new album “The Bedroom Sessions” and of course a large part of her bloodline, Steel Bridge Songfest was discussed heavily during the second portion of a five hour event on the waves of WSUM.
