Cheap Trick‘s master of the 12 string bass, Tom Petersson, took time to call into the ROCK 92.9 studio for a chat with Adam 12.
Tom talked about having to buy copies of Cheap Trick records when the label wouldn’t give him any promos, missing out of a year of playing out, and a bit about autism advocacy through his Rock Your Speech organization. Oh, and he talked a ton about the new Cheap Trick album In Another World, which is out now and will see a special blue-splatter vinyl release on June 4. Listen below.
