Performance Series Brings Anderson & Roe to Opelika (4/3/2013)

Anderson & Roe is a four-hand piano duo performing tonight (4/3) at 7:30 PM at the Opelika Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Arts Association of East Alabama's Performance Series.

Below is an embedded Kyle Gassiott interview of the duo. It's an episode of Troy University Public Radio's Community Focus.
