Freewheelin'

May 14, 2020 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Music/Roots/Americana

With Jackson Buck

Jackson Buck holds court every Thursday afternoon (4:00-6:00pm) on KFAI with his roots-rock show Freewheelin'. Tune in as Freewheelin’ delivers a free-flowing roots musical journey through the years of recorded history featuring the sounds of Americana, rockabilly, blues, alt-country, rock & roll, swing, folk, Cajun & zydeco, old-time, and a whole bunch of other crapola for your listening enjoyment.

No matter how it's labeled, this great music all falls under the roots umbrella. Jackson not only plays historical tracks from days gone by, but weaves the past into the present by including modern interpreters of the roots genre. Each show features new releases as well as a journey thru the years.

Live performances, interviews, information, and lots of great rootsy music…..all on Freewheelin’

You may know him from his work as vocalist in The Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Derek Trucks Band or his own band, Scrapomatic. Mike has family in the Twin Cities. I had to edit the words "piece of shit" out of this to keep it FCC legal, but it's such a cool tune I wanted to play it for you. I hate editing someone else's work.
