Ithaca, NY – A folk-punk musician and former Central New Yorker, is embarking on a two-month long bicycle tour down the East Coast.

Aaron Scott of the band, Attica! Attica! currently lives in Portland, Oregon...but he has returned east to take on what he calls the "Ditch the Van Tour."

A few days before taking to the road via bike, Scott played a show at his old stomping grounds in Ithaca. WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher produced this audio postcard.
