Tune in to Rhythm Shack with Mike Fisher on Monday, celebrating the upcoming African American History Month with 2 1/2 hours of high-energy soul, blues, funk, rock, Afrobeat, reggae & gospel, all from African American artists!  

We've got a really rockin' track to remember Ronnie Spector (pictured), who left us not long ago...Hits and deep tracks from legendary African American artists, from Aretha Franklin to Wilson Pickett...New releases from Charles Bradley, Amythyst Kiah & the late Sharon Jones...Local favorites Jujuba & Ural Thomas...and much more...

And check out the following Rhythm Shack on Feb. 15, when we'll hear the music of Louisiana with more African American artists and others, to celebrate the last two weeks of New Orleans' Carnival and the upcoming Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday.  

Don't forget you can listen anytime to the archive of Monday's show or any past shows at KBOO.FM/Program/Rhythm-Shack.  Plus, check out and like the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/rhythmshackonkboo.
