Bassist Tom Petersson joins Eddie Trunk to discuss Cheap Trick's latest album 'All Washed Up' and their enduring passion for creating new music after more than four decades together.

He also shares details about their emotional return to Japan's Budokan, where they recorded their breakthrough live album in the 1970s. After that, legendary drummer Matt Sorum joins Eddie to share details about his March 2nd 'Sound and Vision' benefit concert in Palm Springs honoring rock icons Paul Rodgers and Geezer Butler. The star-studded lineup includes Corey Taylor, Lizzie Hale, Steve Stevens, and Glenn Hughes performing to support Adopt the Arts, Matt's charity providing music education in public schools.
