Sonic Rehab, Monday, Aug. 17, 2026

20240926_183918.jpg

Catch the next Sonic Rehab this Monday the 17th from 1-3 p.m. to see what sort of delicacies DJ Jojo Johanssen's picked out. Some Herbie Hancock, Cameo, Tata Vega, and Jesca Hoop. Also a tune and lack of a tune for his friend who sadly passed recently,  a track by an artist whose name can't be said over the air (there's a NAUGHTY word involved), and Cat Stevens covering Stevie Wonder. It's going to be all sorts of rollercoaster, and all sorts of great music, so tune in this Monday or catch it as you can over the next 2 weeks on kdrt.org.
