8X Almost Acoustic Christmas performers Jimmy Eat World dropped by with Audacy host Kevan Kenney backstage in the Forum Club, just a couple of months after the band was honored with their very own Jimmy Eat World Day in their hometown of Phoenix, AZ on October 17. “We were presented by the mayor of Phoenix with an official proclamation declaring that day, Jimmy World Day,” explains frontman Jim Adkins.
“It's for the municipality of Phoenix. I mean, if other cities want to follow suit, that's kind of up to them right now.” Drummer Zach Lind adds, “I'm gonna treat it as like the Second Father's Day… I'm the only person in our house that's in the band, right? So, it's like, well, I don't have to do any chores today.”
Listen to the full conversation above.
