What’s the music that makes us who we are?
WDET’s award-winning original series In The Groove talks with creatives from all walks of life to reflect on the soundtracks of their lives — the first record they bought with their own money to what’s on their playlist today.
Special guests have included 16-time Grammy winner David Foster, “Broad City” actress Ilana Glazer, iconic street artist Shepard Fairey, comedian Marc Maron and more.
