We announce the lineup for the 16th annual Apocalypse Meow fundraiser show for Midwest Music Foundation on Saturday, NOV 4 at recordBar. We begin the radio broadcast there, playing music from two acts on the lineup and also talking about the roots of MMF. We share stories about our old friend, the spark that helped create MMF, the great Abigail Henderson. We also share a story from this past weekend at The Plaza Art Fair, even though she’s been gone for 10 years now, she pops up so often and her stories and words still resonate all the time!

After that we dive into the OCT and beyond Concert Calendar and highlight and play music from some shows that we think should be on your radar, shows like:
