A living lesson in fortitude, the vocal trio of Cecil “Skeley” Spence, Albert “Apple Gabriel” Craig, and Lascelle “Wiss” Bulgin overcame adversity, illness, and poverty to become one of the finest roots groups in Jamaica’s history.

KC Turner Presents Cookout Concert Series Charlie MusselwhiteÕs journey through the blues was from his birth in Mississippi to Memphis, Chicago and California. Arriving in Chicago in the early sixties, he was just in time for the epochal blues revival. In 1966 at the age of 22 he recorded the landmark Stand Back! to rave reviews.

Presented by KEXP Funk, Soul, Rock Neal Francis The latest album from Neal Francis, Return To Zero, emerged from the kind of visionary feverdream that only the most masterful and inventive artists are capable of bringing to life. Amid an agrueling tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021 to 2024, the Chicago-based singer/songwriter/pianist immersed himself in creating a beautifully strange entangling oftimeless rock &roll and Õ70s-era dance music, merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush andpulsating groovesÑall constructed sans digital programming, in keeping with his devotion to allthings analog.

An intoxicating gumbo of bedroom pop and existential R&B, Amnesty is at once Anna’s potent opening salvo and a righteous rebirth, too. Paeans born of an emotional purge peel back the rawest, realest layers to reveal ruminations on an artist’s humanity.
