Fri, 08/18/2023 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

 

For the best in vintage rock and roll sounds, check out the next Roots of Rock and Roll show Friday 3pm-4pm with DJ Mike Fisher!  Or listen to the archive anytime at kboo.fm/program/roots-rock-and-roll .  This is Mike's first show as a new host on the show, as he joins the DJ lineup with Ray Bodwell and Dale Farr.  

Mike will spin one from The Band for the great Robbie Robertson (pictured), singer/guitarist and main songwriter, who passed away not long ago.  We'll hear a cool new track from rockabilly guitarist Deke Dickerson and celebrate Dale Hawkins' birthday.  We'll play some Elvis to commemorate the anniversary of Don't Be Cruel / Hound Dog going number one in 1956.  Plus, we'll cue up classics from New Orleans legends Irma Thomas, The Meters and Dr. John.  

And THANK YOU so much for listening!  If you like what you hear, please make a donation of any size to keep The Roots of Rock and Roll and KBOO on the air by going to KBOO.FM/Give or texting K-B-O-O to 44321.  THANKS for your support!
