The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 15, 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.

May 15, 2019: KLAUS JOHANN GROBE live set!
