Rocksteady Tonight's Podcast

Second show in a row, there won't be one nextw eek as I will be attending Supernova Ska Festival. So I thought I would infuse today's show with some of the awesome acts you will find there. If you turn up let me know and we can catch up for a drink, a coffee or bottle of water! If not enjoy your time there and celebrate a great festival, great people and some of the best music on the planet!  See you when we get back, and keep on dancing.

Its been a while since I have updated you all here.  Truth is after I get the live show done I am usually pretty done.  Plus the time I would normally sped doing this at home is spent doing other things. And because I have always been all about the quality of the show, posting suffered.  But from now of I will try to forgo the the quality as long as the music continues to be amazing.  For now enjoy Episode 95 a well rounded show of music from throughout the genre.

Its been a sad week with the passing if Gregory Lee. I started off a fan many years ago, but over the past few years he became a cherished friend, talking me through some pretty rough patches in life. I know he was much closer to many more of you. My heart goes out to everyone he touched either through friendship or music. Most of all my heart goes out to his daughters and partner. This show is dedicated to the memory of Gregory Lee, there is a GoFundMe to help offset the costs for his family, donate if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/f/gregory-lee-memorial-fun

Rest in Power Greg Lee - Your music will play of forever

Hey there Rude Crew I trust all is well. Again it's been a couple minutes since I posted, a lot has been going on in my life and 2023 has not been the kindest year to me, more on that another time.  Anyway back in May we celebrated Mother's Day here in North America. I was feeling a bit down after my mom passing, little did I know it was going to get worse. But you know I spun quite a few Rocksteady Tunes and they pretty much capture how i was feeling then and now. Like I said 2023 hasn't been kind, but the music is always amazing. Hope you enjoy the show, you should start seeing regular updates again! Hope you all enjoy the show, please Subscribe and Share.

When I lived in Canada, Detroit was where I went to see MANY shows, and during that time there was LOTS of ska going on. One of those venues was the Magic Bag. While the Magic Bag still rocks there isn't as much Ska these days, and Detroit it a bit far from Pennsylvania. But I did reach into my magic bag and pull out an old episode to post. I have been a little slow with the live shows because of life, so I am glad I had these.  Hope you all enjoy the show, please Subscribe and Share.

One thing I have become painfully aware of is that my lack of knowledge as far as Latin American bands go is causing me to miss so much amazingly good music! And admittedly one thing I hate to be is willingly ignorant. So I named this episode Unapologetically Awesome, simply because I don't speak any Latin languages. I can't even pretend well. But this music is so amazing that I have to share it now and always. Don't let you lack of understanding limit your love of anything, especially music!  So this episode you will find a ton of Latin ska, most of it new and all sorts of other little goodies. Hope it makes your ear holes happy!
