Description
Foot on the Rock: The 70’s were a pivotal time in American history. Wracked by record inflation rates, American imperial folly, an oligarch-led war on labor, the rise of neoliberalism, and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation. What could the music of 1970’s America have to offer us today, right? Right. I’m Eric. Join me every other Friday for the best in 70’s funk, soul, jazz, and rock. Each week we might pay tribute to a legend, go breakbeat excavating, celebrate an unheralded 70’s session musician, dive deep into a single year from the decade, or just groove and find solidarity in the rhythm of the one. That’s Foot On The Rock every other Friday from 7 to 8:30pm, only here on 90.9 WMPG.
