Dig, Jesus Children of America

Welcome to Something Blue. That's Dig playing "Jesus Children of America". Dig was recorded live at Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant and Music Club on August 21, 2014. They really bring it with their blues infused jazz instrumentals.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue and I've got another song for you to dig from Dig. Here they are now playing "A Spanish Roach".

Mmere Dane Group, Nightshift At The 48th

All right now, that's the Mmere Dane Group with "Nightshift At The 48th". They were recorded live at the Gratitude Harvest Festival on August 16, 2014. They are a new band and they describe their music as soulful jazz with textures of world music and the feeling from funk.
