Jessy Ribordy from Falling Up 02/09/16

Paul Gibson talks with Jessy from Falling Up about their final self-titled record. They also talk about why they only played one time after announcing their final record at Joshua Fest in California. They also talk about the band's tendency to do concept records, future plans, and why they called it quits as a band. The demise of this Portland, OR band definitely left their fans wanting more of their signature brand of faith-filled rock.  This interview originally aired on The Christian Rock 20 radio show on the weekend of February 9, 2016.
