In The Groove: New music from John Beltran, My New Band Believe, Hollie Cook

Back into the week gently with new music from My New Band Believe, who will be playing at the Lager House on June 6. I’m obsessed with this group and I think you will be, too. Plus fresh selections from Black Country, New Road, Lansing’s own John Beltran, the dubbed out sound of Hollie Cook and more.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
