“Sandusky, Ohio” is a rock album inspired by the 1995 comedy film “Tommy Boy,” starring Chris Farley and David Spade.
And it’s no joke.
The album was written and performed by Dave Paulson, an indie-rock singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Paulson — who previously fronted Nashville’s The Privates — was tired of writing songs about himself, so he started thinking about taking inspiration from a pre-existing story. But nothing too weighty. He wanted to choose something fun, personal, and completely out of left field.
