In The Groove: Your musical umbrella on a rainy day, plus blowing out candles for Dorothy Ashby

Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on 101.9 WDET.

I learned a long time ago in radio that you can try to fight the weather, but it’s best to just vibe with it. So, for a rainy day in Detroit, an extremely moody mix — which I loved! Including new music from Butcher Brown, Crumb, Yannis & the Yaw, TAMTAM and more.

Plus, we’re blowing out the birthday candles for Dorothy Ashby, one of the greatest Detroit musicians of all time, born on this day 92 years ago.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
