Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Favoriting December 31, 2021: Fill-in for Mona: It's a New Year's Eve Disco/Dance Party!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!



Tonight, for the third time, it's a special Evan "Funk" Davies Show New Year's Eve Disco Dance Party as I fill in for Mona til Midnight! It's three hours of classic dance and disco jams from the mid-'70s through the early '80s, plus some lost shoulda-been-hits that just might become your new faves!

=======================================
Disco/dance disclaimer! I'm keeping the lines blurry and using "disco" and "dance" as catch-all terms for my own take on fun dance music from the mid-70s to the early '80s, expanding the boundaries (and sound) of the traditional disco era. Don't @ me!
