This week on the show, we play a new song from local singer/songwriter Peter Mayer, and new stuff from Wes Collins, Stillhouse Junkies, Courtney Marie Andrews, Durham County Poets and a hot Danish blues band called Thorbjørn Risager & the Black Tornado. We also celebrate some of last week’s birthdays: Tom Petty, Shelby Lynne, Steve Cropper and others.
