In The Groove: Getting you ready for Danielle Ponder’s June show at El Club in Detroit

I’m making Danielle Ponder’s upcoming show at El Club in Southwest Detroit on June 21 an official In The Groove must-go show.

Need another reason? Detroit’s own Vespre will open for Ponder, who is spotlighted in this episode.

Plus new music from Swamp Dogg (who might’ve released the best country album of the year so far), Brittany Howard, Fontaines D.C. and SAHRA.

And there’s more listener picks with your favorite songs of 2024 so far. Leave me a voicemail on the GROOVE-LINE at 313-577-3414 with your name, your favorite song released this year or maybe your favorite song/artist you discovered on In The Groove! I’ll play them all this week on the show.

See the listener picks I played along with everything else in the playlist below. Listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
