    About the Show

    Play Something Sweet is a music history show that celebrates music and puts songs in historical context. As a music history enthusiast, I recognize that music history is cultural history. Join in each week as we trace the history of American music through blues, jazz, country, rock, soul, punk, and more. Each show brings insight into the cultural influences that contributed to the music as we play a variety of well-known and lesser-known tracks.
