Listen Up! is going back in time and playing music older than the host. It will be a flood of forgotten rhythm-and-blues, rockabilly, country, jazz, blues, vocal groups and assorted other obscuro sounds (pre -1964).
Follow the Listen Up! Blog and/or “like” the show on Facebook . Both serve as an addendum and a means to interact with the program.
