Music To Heal the Body and Soul - Rupa and the April Fishes

Doctors treat their patients' bodies; musicians treat people's souls. Rupa Marya with her band The April Fishes treats both. A physician and professor of internal medicine by training, Rupa calls society "build the kind of community ties that I want," in her band's newest album, Build. They recently toured around the San Francisco Bay, bicycling from concert to concert, using energy generated by the bicycles to power amps for their nightly performances. Rupa tells Boyd that traveling slowly gives her an opportunity to see how people live, whose stories she often turns into song. The band played the album's title track in NG Weekend's studio during their visit.
