Jeffrey Davison - Living Room Music Series

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Jeffrey Davison of WFMU. He and his wife, Suzanne, came to the Hooves on the Turf showcase for the Northside Music Festival at Trophy Bar. (THAT was a mouthful)
After they introduced themselves after the show, they offered me over any time to listen to records. (I had sent a homemade cd years ago and we had some email correspondence about folk singers I should be listening to...) He took the summer off from WFMU and now has some time on his hands... so he offered to play me some music he thought I would enjoy...
SO I am going to try and start a new music series called the Living Room. Record nights with people I admire. And this is my first attempt, here with WFMU dj, Jeffrey Davison. THIS IS A LINK WHERE YOU CAN STREAM HIS PAST SHOWS
