We are just one week away from Sunny Bleau & the Moons coming to visit us at Pizza Records. Don’t miss that show. This week on the show was a hodgepodge of new music that I’ve been collecting/buying both from all the great artists who send me stuff to play and from area record stores. Get out and support your local record retailer today.
Also, a great return of the Mississippi River Fest is next month. Lots of great roots and blues acts coming – including Larkin Poe, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Fastball, and St. Louis-area roots rockers Feel.
