CultureShift airs weekdays 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on WDET 101.9FM.

Every week on CultureShift on WDET, you can hear the curated song selections from music hosts like Ann Delisi, Rob Reinhart, Jon Moshier and more as part of the ongoing “pick of the week” series.

Sam’s Jams is the weekly song selection of WDET’s creative producer Sam Beaubien, a longtime Detroit musician who also helms the soul-funk band Will Sessions.

From 50 years ago to contemporary releases today, Sam’s Jams is the musical equivalent of digging for hours in dusty record store bins to find forgotten-but-should-be-remembered deep cuts pulled from the genres of funk, jazz and soul genres.

The Sam’s Jams Spotify playlist will update with a new song on Mondays after airing on CultureShift, so bookmark this page to find your new favorite song each week.
