Program host Diana Linn Ennis describes her weekly show on 90.1 FM KKFI, “The Tasty Brew,” as an eclectic mix of Americana music. The Americana genre can be defined as the combination of roots music formed by the shared and varied traditions that make up the American musical melting pot; specifically those sounds that are merged from folk, country, bluegrass, blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll and other external influences. This edition will include music from Mark Selby, Radney Foster, The Ragged Few, Guy Clark, Mandolin Orange, The Vogts Sisters, Jessie Torrisi and many more.
This week’s spotlight artist will be Iowa’s Dan Tedesco. Dan first came to Diana Linn’s attention in 2016 as he was on the road promoting a self-titled double disc. Having a soft spot for Iowa musicians (think Chad Elliott, Jake Ilika, Iris Dement, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey….) Diana Linn was all ears. You can learn more about Dan here.
Dan is bringing his unique style of Americana/Roots music to Knuckleheads’ Gospel Lounge in Kansas City this week on Thursday, October 19. The performance will be preceded by Dan’s short, self-produced documentary on the touring life of a musician…”Chasing the Lightning.” More information and tickets are available here.
