I'm excited to begin inviting local artists on the show to discuss their work and what it means to be part of the Bay Area music scene. My first guest is part-time poet turned melodic storyteller, Chicano singer/songwriter Josiah Flores.
Josiah created this playlist highlighting African American and Indigenous country artists
Willie Dunn - I Pity The Country
Stoney Edwards - Poor Folks Stick Together
Freddy Fender - Vaya Con Dios
Linda Martell - Bad Case of the Blues
Johnny Rodriguez - Ridin' My Thumb to Mexico
