Up-and-Coming Singer-Songwriter to Thrill You with Tales and Tunes
A Fun Treat Coming Your Way....
...provided you're an Early-Bird! On Monday, February 6, from 6am to 7am, I will have Dan Weber, local singer-songwriter, on my Folk Espresso show. Dan's a fellow you just wanna have in your circle of friends: engaging, talented, smiley, loquacious, and generous. He's young, he's energetic, and he's making a name for himself with his music. My guess is he'll go places (and I'm talkin' bigger than biker dive bars in East Peoria). You might wanna come along for the ride.
Put this little special on your calendar. Heck, program KBOO permanently into your radio....!
Happy Winter Membership Drive! To thank you for your support and listenership, and to urge you for continued financial support for this new drive, Back To The Egg proudly presents The Minders live at the KBOO studios!. Tune in to 90.7 FM at the midnight hour this Saturday night to hear live music from one of the finest bands to ever grace the Elephant Six collective. Retro 60's-style britrock (think The Kinks) courtesy of Portland band The Minders! Saturday at midnight** on 90.7 FM KBOO.

In 1976 on January 7th, 9th and 10th, James Booker played with the Jerry Garcia Band for the only time ever. Today we feature excerpts from those dates. An asterisk (*) perceding a song name indicates that this was the only JGB performance of that song.
Fortunato will lift up the sliding door, turn on the space heaters, and clear some room in the garage, so the young people can come in and play their rockin roll music! Tune in live for Objects in Space and The Blacklights.
