Jen and Micah ofI Never Saw That join us this week for a somber and surprising discussion of musicians in the 27 Club. So many musicians have been taken from us too soon at the age of 27, leaving us with a legacy of great music that leave us wondering what could have been. It's shocking how many musicians passed away at that age; people know Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse, and at least one of our picks this week. But there's so many others that were under the radar or legends that also happened to leave us at that age. We look into four unique musicians and ask what could have been this week as we hash out a new #SongFight.
