This week on The Saturday Alternative we looked back over a year of great music discoveries, and man were there a lot of’em! These were some of the standout tracks we heard together on the show. Songs that moved us, inspired us, surprised us… and even frightened us! Below you’ll find the entire playlist, and a Spotify playlist for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
Here’s to another great year of music in 2018. Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year. Thanks for joining me each week for this great little listening party we’ve got goin’ on.
