Johnny Angel & the Halos

And a special performance for Tj Klisavage

Join us tonight as we talk with Justin Sarra of N Stuff Music in Blawnox. More than a half century serving the music needs of many a musician. Get the scoop on the history and where they are at today with some other endeavors including a live music venue and a house dedicated to music instruction. We'll feature music from some of the employees that work there along with some new music from Tarquinio-Smith and Acoustic Fingers, plus a tune from Limousine Beach and Transcendance.
