Episode Details

Big D and the Kids Table just dropped their twelfth album, “The Good Ole American Saturday Night,” proving that resilience beats trends. Formed in 1995 when ska was fading, the band’s frontman Dave McWane battled cancer twice yet kept pushing forward — even with a nine-piece lineup and a sound that never wavered. Guitarist Alex Stern credits their survival to staying true to ska roots while others abandoned the genre. McWane’s journey began as a kid inspired by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and he launched Big D at Berklee, opening for Boxer early on. Their raw energy and honest lyrics have built a loyal global fanbase — a testament to grit over gimmicks.
