Renny's Riot
Wednesday December 21st, 2022 with Reindeer Renny
That seasonal Solstice sell-out: THE RETURN OF THE REINDEER RIOT. What will the Whamma Blamma Santa stuff down your chimney? Rhythm & Blues, boogie woogie, jump blues, soul, country, folk, punk rock, ska & reggae.

Did you hear the one about the Christians crashing the Solstice celebration, with just one god & a cockamamie story about a virgin birth? Monotheists are so pushy. They claimed the party as theirs, that the wine was blood & totally ruined the festivities. This Solstice, it's pay back time.
