A sneak peek of what’s coming this weekend…
SHEROES Radio (Saturday, 8a – 9a): Jensen McRae is back in the SHEROES Spotlight for an encore presentation of that interview! Fresh tunes for the rest of the hour.
The Underground Archives (Sunday, 8a – 10a): Celebrating work and workers, dead ends and beginnings. All wrapped up in a tasty milk chocolate musical shell.
American Routes (Sunday, 3p – 5p): 20 years ago, the levees failed after Hurricane Katrina and covered 80% of New Orleans in water. We take a look back at the catastrophe, recovery, and renewed hope for the culture of the Crescent City with Dr. John, Irma Thomas, the Rebirth Brass Band, and Allen Toussaint and archival audio from our first broadcast after the storm in September 2005.
Detour (Sunday, 5p – 7p): Songs for 20 years after Hurricane Katrina; New music by Woodlands Bäckafall and Splendid Torch; Old music by Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino and Rick Danko Band; and be careful, Tom is waltzing out my front door.
