What a crazy busy Friday. 5 different parties with huge guests. Medusa is back open this weekend and Gregg Nyce and Romes have been rescheduled for this Sunday with Kenny Meez.
This one is more on the overground tip, but should prove innaresting. “Arts in the City” is hosted by the Penn IUR (full disclosure: they’re my 9-5) and the main act, in my opinion, is Nick Spitzer, host of American Routes, probably the best radio show on air right now if you care about American music with a capital-A. Based in New Orleans, he has a preference for all things Louisiana, Gulf Coast, and Delta, but delves deep into the corners of just about every form of traditional American music, as well as plenty of contemporary sounds.
Gregg Nyce just sent me this banging set of remixes he has been working on. Its all Mary J Blige flipped into reggae tracks just in time for Valentines Day. Yes it is awesome as it sounds.
