The Fourth Annual Mystery Roach Covers Show is coming soon! On Saturday, August 28, I’ll be playing original tracks from the 50s, 60s or 70s along with a cover version from any decade and style.
If you have any requests or suggestions, post them here, on the Facebook fan page, or email them to me.
Below are the playlists from the previous three years to give you an idea of what this year’s show will be like.
Tune in to Mystery Roach every Saturday from 8-10am on WKNC for Progressive, Fusion, Psychedelic, Garage and noise from the 60s and 70s. (The 50s are fair game for the cover show as well.)
Cheers.
