North Vs. South

Last night, from 8pm-midnight on KJHK 90.7FM, I played some of the finest music representing next weekend's North Vs. South Music Festival. The brainchild of legendary songwriter Mike McCoy, the festival is a means of bringing together friends old and new. Austin, Texas and Minneapolis, Minnesota have produced numerous quality rock and roll groups in the last 20-50 years. All is showcased here on neutral ground in Lawrence, KS annually. The best from north and south perform live on the anniversary of Quantrill's raid on Lawrence in 1863. This year's festival takes place August 16-18 at Louise's Upstairs, the Replay Lounge, the Replay Lounge patio and the Jackpot Saloon. I spun music from this and past year's performers. Listen for stuff from Honeywagen, the Bitter Spills, Grand Champeen, Kruddler, the Rockland Eagles, the New Vintage, the Meat Purveyors, the Brannock Device, the Red Flags, Chooglin', Pong, Ben Hayter & the Ex-Rays, the Undesirables, Charlie Parr, God's Favorite Band, Truck Stop Love, and many more.
