Visitor from Vancouver
Jazz and Blues artist, Wes Mackey, who has lived in Vancouver, Canada, for many years returns to his roots, and pays a visit to Columbia while in the Palmetto State.
He'll be at a meet and greet at Papa Jazz Record Shoppe on Greene Street in Columbia from 4-5 p.m., then guest host a Blues Moon Radio show featuring all Carolina musicians (98 percent from South Carolina).
Then we're treating him and his guest to some lovely downhome cooking.

As always we thank our underwriters, who help bring great music to the Midlands, because we could not imagine our show without their input and support: Papa Jazz Record Shoppe; California Republic Stand Up Paddleboards in Leesville near Lake Murray (closed for the season); and Word of Mouth Productions.
