Hello Poppies and Song Bar patrons! Please enjoy this set of songs about gratitude, tunes about thanks, and aires of appreciation to lead off your 2022. You can read the full write up and participate in future themes at Song Bar.
PopOff! is an “anything goes” musical show hosted by me DJ Bear. Every episode is a unique sonic road trip through the multitudes of genres, eras, and musicians in recorded music. So if you have an open mind for musical exploration climb into the PopOff! Bubble and let’s get to it!!
Also join me at The Bear Cave for my live streamed shows on KBEAR Radio. I put the roar in more musical variety.
FOLLOW ME ON MIXCLOUD WHERE I STREAM LIVE FROM THE BEAR CAVE TO HEAR EVEN MORE MUSIC.
