Good morning, music lovers! Once again we’ve made it to the end of the working week. We’ve got some great stuff to get you through this last day before the weekend arrives!

Here’s your musical lineup:
10:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Janis Joplin
The reigning queen of blues-rock with Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Kozmic Blues Band and as a solo artist kicks off the festivities at 10:00 a.m.
3:00 p.m. Those Shoes: Various Artists
Who knew there were so many songs about shoes? You’ll hear from Steve Winwood, Elvis Presley, The Eagles, Little Feat, Norah Jones, Laura Nyro, Leon Russell, Traffic, The Beatles, Supertramp, Betty Everett, The Band, Paul Simon and more!
8:00 p.m. John Hiatt Live at The Bottom Line, New York City, NY, October 7, 1988 NEW!
John Hiatt is another of those singer-songwriters who puts people on the map. His songs of redemption and relationships have been covered by nearly one hundred artists, from Linda Ronstadt (a brilliant rendering of his We Ran), to Steve Earle to Iggy Pop. Today we put him In The Spotlight singing his own music.
Here we are on the cusp of another weekend. We’ve got your back as we work our way through the day. Before, in between, and after this programming we give you our big, wide Open Stream on a 24/7 basis, at no charge and with no commercial interruption. Just use the button below.
