Episode 260

Episode 260 – June 18, 2020

Welcome To Hard Times. Rioting in the streets, a pandemic raging, the dice are loaded, and a Recession barreling straight into a Depression. Hard times, indeed. What is it we need? Americana music to soothe the blood letting on community radio for Sonoma County on a Thursday morning. A hobo’s message from Charley Crockett, a new single from Pokey LaFarge, neo-Americana from Waxahatchee, and a new track from Sarah Jarosz this morning. Vintage-wise, a cross-section of everything from Johnny Cash to local favorites Kevin Russell and Doug Jayne. We’ll also have some Dirk Powell, Bob Seger, and Django Reinhardt shining brightly on a day where Spring begins to tuck itself away. With the shelter-in-place, it’s as if it was never here.  Join us every Thursday morning under that big Americana tent at 9 Pacific on KOWS Community Radio (which is 92.5 FM here in Sonoma County), streaming at freespeechnobull.com/listen.
