Pesky J. Nixon, an acoustic group with roots in the Boston area, takes their name from favorite favorite Red Sox players (sorry, Yankees fans), Johnny Pesky and Trot Nixon. The two leaders, Ethan Baird and Jake Bush first met at Brandeis University, where they were part of an a capella group. They maintained a sense of harmony and humor ever since. Both were on display when they came to Studio A for a Sunday Breakfast session.
