It’s the 1-year anniversary show of In The Groove! I didn’t want to throw a birthday party for myself, so you better believe you were part of this via listener voicemails and song picks — which were lovely. Thank you so much to everyone that called in and shared a message with their picks — they sounded awesome! I’ve noted the listener picks below.

The whole idea of this show was to create a space where genre didn’t matter, good music does, the host doesn’t yap too much and the music truly flows — and that it represents the voice of you, the listener. That’s the most important part, so truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing your time and energy and support and everything with this show. We’re just getting started! So far, so good!
