 Mt. Airy Groove
My pops used to say it reminded him of bebop. Stop by the Mt. Airy Groove for a head noddin' amalgamation of jazz, soul, fusion, Brazil, AfroBeat, and all funky things, mixed seamlessly on 100% vinyl. At the Groove, we're still listening to wax...we're not using the CD. Learn more about the host here.

Stop by the Junction Wednesday night for some great new vinyl grooves. Out of nowhere, the Greg Foat Group returns with an EP close on the heels of last year's now classic release and in anticipation of a full length coming out in the next two weeks. But that's not all! The Menahan Street Band just released their 2nd album, Finnish reedman Timo Lassy's got a new one, and we'll spin the soundtrack to Searching for Sugarman, a documentary about the enigmatic folk/funk of the elusive Rodriguez. Plus, a batch of Hendrix covers celebrating the man's 70th birthday! Soul Junction

What would happen if Black Sabbath, TV on the Radio, and Soft Machine had a baby? The evil progeny would be a two headed monster called Fewsh Junction! Yes, join me Wednesday night as the infamous Fewsh, Monday nights from 6pm-8pm here on GtownRadio, sits for another two hour musical discussion. Check out the original madness here! Soul Junction and Fewsh: almost as fitting a combo as thinly veiled nudity and absinthe. We promise to stay clothed, but make no promises about the absinthe. Soul Junction
