Join Michael Litten "The Last DJ" for an in-depth conversation. Playing songs from the bands latest album, Stay True. Sponsored by Cathead Distillery Theme music provided by Peter Perkins Special Thank You to Lucy Piller/ARN Entertainment for providing the talent Jamie Williams & the Roots Collective are like the classic touring bands of the 70s: They are almost a travelling circus; a dysfunctional family of a band. They're tight without being boringly slick; leaving just enough rough edges to become one of the most exciting and fun 'originals' live bands on the circuit today. Their ethos is ‘it's not just a gig, it's a night out’. This is a band who love to entertain people and to make them smile; to inspire them to dance and sing along. Settled into the current super-tight lineup after many years and hundreds of shows the band is on fire right now, bringing their own style of Country Blues, Rock & Americana to the gig. They always want to have fun and make sure the crowd does too. This is not a band that stands onstage staring at their (red) shoes. www.jwroots.co.uk & https://jwrc.bandcamp.com

Playing songs from the bands self-titled EP, Squawk Sponsored by Cathead Distillery Theme music provided by Peter Perkins Emerging from the speaker like some disturbed three-headed monster and bursting onto the scene with their new self-titled EP….On the tip of your tongue… Can’t put your finger on it… The sound of Squawk delivers flashbacks of 60’s psychedelic rock with flavors of 70’s prog and jam, along with an unrestrained eclecticism that evokes everything from jazz funk fusion to thrash metal and cinematic soundscapes. As experimental as Frank Zappa’s soul patch and as comfortably southern as a hair of Duane Allman’s 1971 lamb-chop sideburns. www.squawkmusic.com
