Happy Friday "Driver"!
Grooving on a jazzy vibe for today's ride with some left and right veers into some funkiness, boogie grooves mixed in with a dash of afro and latin sounds to keep things rolling along.
Thank you for taking the time to ride along.
Hope you all enjoy today's offering.
Happy listening!

The conference brings together performers, cultural workers, journalists, content creators, visual artists, and fans to showcase local and national women in the industry.
The Women in Music & Arts Conference is designed to encourage new business and artistic relationships, to forge and nurture networks, and to create new opportunities through events, discussions, meetings, showcases and panels.
The conference spans two evenings of discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities focusing on women, BIPOC, cultural workers, and various experimental and contemporary music forms locally, nationally, and internationally.
