The Moonglows, Part 2 – 1956-61 today on The Juke In The Back!

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

Clubhouse, a "Celtic Cover", Joni Mitchell and More, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here, back from my crazy novelling weekend with a brand new episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show!
