Deep Cuts With Jonathan

Deep Cuts With Jonathan

Sit back, tune in, and let these Deep Cuts wash over you in an awesome wave. During our time together I will share with you some personal favorites from my vinyl record collection. We will listen to a wide array of rock, classic, progressive, indie, several shades of rock. From vintage to modern. We will also have conversations with community members about the music that inspires them to create. From time to time there might even be a pearl of wisdom or funny story that you pick up. Maybe you'll even learn something. It's just a simple little radio show for my analog friends living in a digital world.
