Blues Roots

This week's PBS Feature Album is Turning Yr Back On The Dolphin, the third album by Palm Springs.

Palm Springs is the outsider folk identity of Erica Dunn and an evolving cast of essential collaborators. Born out of a compulsion to write sparse, intimate verse and named for her nervous affliction - sweaty hands - Palm Springs has been a cornerstone of Dunn’s songwriting that sits in a separate interior back room from her other creative outputs (Tropical Fuck Storm, MOD CON, Fiancée, Harmony et al.)

Celebrate independent airwaves supporting local music, Tune In and Turn Up! First-time callers, long-time listeners from across the community radio landscape - Sounds Like Community Radio returns to Meanjin/Brisbane station 4ZZZFM, in celebration of their 50th year. 

Legendary ska, rocksteady, early reggae and Jah RnB group The Ska Vendors are celebrating 21 years of playing around Naarm/Melbourne and across Australia. To kick off the milestone, they've released two 7” vinyls - the first with Jamaican foundation artist Stranger Cole after a triumphant four-show tour late in 2022, and recently, 'Good Love Bad', a song written by Kerri Simpson, recently inducted into the Blues Hall of fame.
