"In The Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.

It was awesome to have two special guests on the show today alongside new music from Peter Cat Recording Co., Orville Peck, Ezra Collective, Milton Nascimento & Esperanza Spalding, Nubya Garcia and others (pretty jazzy today — good vibes).

Detroit trumpet player Allen Dennard previewed his upcoming live EP recording at Motor City Wine this Friday. The chefs from Vinyl Tasting stopped by to preview their Prince-themed six-course meal they’re creating for the 40th anniversary of “Purple Rain.” You can get tickets to that right here if you wanna go!
