Roots and Rhythms
Sunday April 23rd, 2023 with Dick Altavista
A career retrospective of Chicago singer Nora O’Connor

Nora O’Connor first came to my attention as guitar player and singer of Bloodshot’s The Blacks. Since that time she has gone on to become a sought after backup singer who also puts out amazing solo records in addition to being a member of The Flat Five.
