Sounds & Echoes producer, Whitney Henry-Lester introduces us to Susan Tanner and husband Marty Boratin who love music so much they’ve opened their home in Hamburg to touring bands who need a good night’s sleep—and maybe a little breakfast in the morning. Musical house guests over the years have included Anders Parker, Tyvek, Arrington De Dionyso, Erin McKeown, Jon Spencer and the band Glossary, all of whom share their thoughts on Susan’s and Marty’s unique brand of Buffalo hospitality.
