The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from July 31, 2019

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

July 31, 2019: CYNTHIA SLEY and DEE POP from BUSH TETRAS in studio!
