RoCM Playlist: 14 June 2025

Taking a break from the longer songs to have a pretty packed playlist this week.

Jazz guitar virtuoso Mary Halvorson has a new album that was just released yesterday called About Ghosts. Her stuff is always worth checking out.

Lot of great stuff in this week’s playlist – as I mentioned, I packed things very tightly this week so we’re forgoing the Toms this week. It’s always good to mix things up a bit.

Here is the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
