WFUV’s longtime pals Deer Tick celebrated the release of their new album, Emotional Contracts, with a visit to our Bronx studios in June 2023. In this WFUV Live session, American alternative rock-folk band Deer Tick was loose and having a few laughs while warming up and they tore through three songs, slowed down only by the momentary pause of a broken guitar string. As guitarist/vocalist John McCauley and drummer Dennis Ryan shared in our conversation, the band is based in Providence again — they all live close to each other and not far from McCauley’s studio, where the new songs were born.
