Tonight we say goodbye to Greg Lee, co-founder and co-singer of Hepcat, who tragically and unexpectedly passed away last week.
We also focus on some of the great modern neo-traditional ska sounds that Hepcat helped usher into the 90s and the 21st century.
As part of that we listen to some of newer music hitting your turntable and digital players that has come out recently.
Grab your shoes, roll up the rug, and come dance wid’ me!
