Second Annual Black History Month Celebration on Pop! the Beat Bubble Burst

This month Pop! The Beat Bubble Burst will be showcasing music dear to my heart to celebrate Black History Month.  This will be the 2nd annual celebration of music written/performed/created by African Americans.

P!TBBB usually plays music from 1963 up to present. The music focuses on British Invasion and Power Pop, but also plays much from the sixties including folk rock, garage rock and psychedelia. From the seventies you can expect to hear pub rock, glam and glitter rock. It also weaves through the last few decades to present echoes of the sounds of the past.  It’s a safe bet to say that most of the music I play wouldn’t exist without the contributions made by those bands and artists that came before them; Blues, Gospel, R&B, Soul and early Rock ‘N’ Roll.

Those influences will be showcased February 4, 11 and 18, 2010, 5-7 a.m. Central.  Every song I play will be by a band or artist that I usually play covering songs by Black artists who wrote or first performed them. 

The last show of the month February 25, 2010. 5-7 a.m. Central will go straight to the source as we play two hours of the original versions of many of the songs played during the first three months.

As always you can stream the program live, online at KDHX.org and listen to archives of every show for up to 2 weeks.

Hope you can tune in!
