ALLSORTS OF HARD TIMES

Michele K-tel continues to hide out in the basement to play ALLSORTS of new folk, jazz, afrobeat and Argentine post-punk from the likes of Joan Shelley, the Tiptons, Hugh Masekela & Tony Allen + Las Kellies and even some bird songs from Northern Wisconsin.  Why? Because these are Hard Times...
