Acoustic Brunch January 29th, 2017

Some really good new music is starting to emerge in 2017.  Keri Noble's new release snuck out at the end of 2016 as did the fun acoustic record from Bowling For Soup.  The new Catie Curtis record is out next week and Judith Owen's newest is set for a US release on March 3.  And do yourself a favor and track down the Sweet Water Warblers release...heavenly!

Acoustic Brunch January 8th, 2017

I love debuting new material on the air. It always feels good to be among the first to play something for an audience that probably hasn't heard it yet.  New Jetty Rae, Sweet Water Warblers and Brandi Carlile on today's program!  Also want to add Happy Birthday to Jill Jack today (and Elvis, but I like her better)!  Thanks to Kiana June Weber and Martin Howley for sharing their talents today.
