“Flashback #11″

“Flashback #11″

Listen Up! is starting off the new year by taking a look back into the Access Sacramento vault. In our efforts to preserve some of our local shows we have found more gems from 20 years ago. Flashback #11 includes some more classic tunes from The Mark Hummel Blues Band and The Porchupines.
We also found a very special performance by a lovely local couple performing on Live at Cafe Montreal. Their band was called Arc, but you may recognize them better as Kevin Seconds from the legendary 7 Seconds and Allyson Seconds, photography artist and musician who recently performed songs from her album Bag of Kittens on Listen Up!

Tune in to Listen Up! Sacramento for a trip back to 1992.

Listen Up! Sacramento Flashback #11 airs Tuesday, January 3rd at 11pm on Access Sacramento channel 17 or watch the simulcast online at www.AccessSacramento.org and click ‘watch 17′
