Good morning, musicologists, and welcome to our midweek mayhem here as we start out with ‘M is For Motown,’ move on to Robbie Robertson and close with Little Feat.

Here’s your midweek lineup:

It’s back with Barrett Strong, Eddie Kendricks, Eddie Holland, Edwin Starr, Gladys Knight & The Pips, the Jackson Five, Kim Weston, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Isley Brothers, The Temptations, The Contours, Rare Earth, Mary Wells, Tammi Terrell, Diana Ross & The Supremes and more!

4:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Robbie Robertson

The late, great Robbie Robertson is back for his second turn as our featured singer-songwriter. Robertson was the lead guitarist for The Hawks and Bob Dylan, before taking the helm of The Band and helping them become one of the most influential in the development of Americana music.

8:00 p.m. Little Feat Live at Lisner Auditorium, Washington, D.C., August 18, 1977

On this particular outing, Little Feat brings the Tower of Power horns along. Little Feat is one of the most funky, fun bands ever, particularly their years with Lowell George. Don’t miss it.

We’ve made it to midweek. We don’t have far to go until it’s the weekend again and we’ll be able to relax and kick back. In the meantime, we’re running 24/7 to make life more tolerable.
