Sun here. I believe I have a good show for you on Saturday. The first half will feature songs written by African American musicians or made popular by them. The music will be performed by Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band - JGB.

June is Black Music Month as well as celebrating the end of slavery on Juneteenth, which is on June 19th.

2nd half will feature music from Joe Russo's Almost Dead with Branford Marsalis from Red Rocks.

There will also be two ticket giveaways. To win, email promotions@kboo.org. In the subject line put which show you’d like to win tickets for and in the body of the email, let me know what song you’d like to hear next month.

The shows to win are:

JAZZ is PHSH playing 7/17 at McMenamins Mission Theater 21+ show

ShadowGrass playing 6/28 at Mission Theater. All Ages show.
