Friday Drive
Friday May 27th, 2022 with Trevor Walker
[SpiritUpVibes]

Happy Friday Drivers! Welcome to this week’s Drive! Wanted to start out by giving a shout out to everyone affected by this past Saturday’s storm my heart goes out to everyone affected and I hope things are getting back to normal. On today's show we'll be diving deep into some jazz-funk-afro-caribbean grooves taking the tempo up as we go and attempting to climax before the two hours are up. Thank you all for taking the time and hope you enjoy the ride! _______________________________________________ Some extracurriculars that might be of interest below: Friday: MAY 27 The Come Back Dance Battle @Bronson Centre 211 Bronson Centre 19h-22h30 Event: https://fb.me/e/2Fmx6GJ31 Tickets: WWW.MOOVOTTAWA.COM Join Moov Ottawa Dance and some of the freshest Street Dancers compete for the cash prize on May 27th, 2022 for "The Come Back".
