About

What is Why Rush Matters? It’s a dedicated Rush podcast from Buffalo music journalist Jeff Miers and Rush historian Ray Wawrzyniak, created for listeners who want the deep cuts, the big questions, and the stories behind the sound. Spun out of the most-listened-to Rush conversation on Why Music Matters, the series explores the albums, lyrics, musicianship, mythology, and emotional pull of one of rock’s most enduring bands. With Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson returning to the road with drummer Anika Nilles, Jeff and Ray guide fans through this remarkable moment with insight, context, reverence, and joy.
