An Abundance of Wonderful Music!

Join Diane Hunt for her special edition of Folk Espresso as part of the celebration of Black History Month.  There'll be music from up-and-coming musicians like Tray Wellington, Kaia Kater, Stephanie Anne Johnson, and Jerron Paxton, as well as a couple of really cool songs from Senegal and Malawi, and many dear favorites such as Eric Bibb, Guy Davis, Allison Russell, and Hubby Jenkins.  It'll be a lovely way to wake up on Monday, February 24th!
