Episode #299 of the Iron City Rocks Podcast features Foreigner bassist and producer Jeff Pilson.

“Jeff and the band are gearing up for another heavy year of touring but he was kind enough to take time out to fill us in on all the things he has going on. Jeff discusses the new Foreigner release In Concert – Unplugged, as well as his role in the band as a producer, producing bands such as Last In Line, some memories of Jimmy Bain and the future of Dokken.”

Tune in at this location.

Foreigner will rock across Europe and Israel for a massive summer 2016 Tour.
