A curated blend of timeless classics, deep cuts, and edgy new sounds from politically sharp anthems to vintage soul and funk-driven instrumentals.

     Join Andy O’Hara on March 30th for “The Monday Sampler,” a two-hour journey of high-energy music that defies categorization. Expect a sonic landscape where the art-pop of David Bowie and the sharp wit of Elvis Costello sit comfortably alongside the soulful grit of The Blind Boys of Alabama and the cosmic vibrations of Khruangbin. From the sophisticated jazz-rock of Steely Dan to the raw, psychedelic funk of The Chambers Brothers and The Isley Brothers, every transition is designed to surprise. Whether featuring the indie-rock precision of Spoon, the heavy afro-funk of Lafayette Afro Rock Band, or the rhythmic fire of Talking Heads, “The Monday Sampler” is your destination for thoughtful commentary, uncompromising hits, and hidden archival gems.
