The Backroom 7.23.24

Changing gears and shifting expectations. Saying bye to candidate Joe and hello to Kamala, who’s bringing a funky playlist to The Backroom today. A soulful generational shift from Bill Withers to Acantha Lang. Cycling through the Tour de France and the upcoming Olympics. Plus, a Connecticut-themed Jazz Meditation™. Dennis Lamar

The Backroom 6.18.24

They’re calling this D-Day anniversary — the 80th — the last hurrah for survivors of Operation Overlord, about 200 in number with an average age of 100. Thanking our veterans and honoring the fallen takes center stage in The Backroom, after some new music from Orgone. Dennis Lamar
