Roots Music Project on WEMU

I often refer to the ‘Roots Music Project’ on WEMU Saturday’s from noon until 2pm so I thought I’d give you more of an idea of what they play.   Jeremy Baldwin sent this summary to me.

Since Willy Wilson will be filling in for the next 2 weeks and I will miss
my 100th show, I thought it was a good time to recount stats on The Roots

Another New Blog

I know that the Ypsilanti Blogging community is getting a little hard to follow but I thought I’d add another to the list. The new Blog is Archive Drive By. Archive Drive by is a Blog which features music from The Live Music Archive a free and legal music resource. What makes this blog better than just going to the source is that Jeremy Baldwin picks, reviews, and gives context of the music. I guess if you don’t dig what Jeremy is putting down than it’s not for you but if you do it’s a great resource.

I’d also like to suggest that you tune into Jeremy Baldwin’s show The Roots Music Project on WEMU Saturdays from Noon until 2pm. It’s great local radio and Jeremy works hard to bring you up to date on artists coming to town and new releases as well as some classic Americana.
