It’s finger poppin’ time…time to have a blast with some breakout party rockers from the mid-century. All for a good time with soul and roll and rhythm as the main course in today’s show. It’s all about those percussive rocking beats. Call it a party full of boogie, mojo, twistin’ and shaking. We’ve lit the fuse for a dynamite celebration of rebellious rock and cool upbeat soul rhythms with the music of Freddy Cannon, The Swingin’ Medallions, The Showstoppers and Ann Cole with an out of control party mix…just in time for our first show of May. KOWS Community Radio brings the fresh sounds of today, yesterday and tomorrow 24/7, with the very best of political and community discourse. You can tune us in on 92.5 FM in West Sonoma County or just drop by our stream on your Radio Rethink app, Alexa, Radio Garden, Tunein, or Radio Box. We’re here for you and Deeper Roots will be pitching a wang dang doodle this coming Friday morning here on member-supported radio for planet Earth.
