Folk Oasis Episode August 25, 2010
Broadcast on 25-Aug-2010
8:00pm - 10:00pm
Tonight we pay musical tribute to the Big Easy, where life is still not so easy after Hurricane Katrina and the more recent Gulf oil spill. We also stirred some new and new-ish releases into the gumbo for a warm summer serving of eclectic roots music. Served up with a smile!
Enjoy the rest of your summer, y'all..
