POP Goes The World! / What the Fontaine?!

What the Fontaine?!: Happy Juneteenth! (06/19/26)

Fri, Jun 19, 2026

“What the Fontaine?!: You never know what you’ll hear next on this fun mix of tunes from across the decades and musical genres.”

Juneteenth is today, June 19th, marking the day that slaves in Texas were set free. So 3-5pmEDT I’ll play music from The Last Poets (who I saw play Juneteenth 2006), and many more bands. Tune in!
