Unintentionally, the music featured from the past week had two characteristics – songs that either were motivated by current events and those made for road trips. Fortunately, the two went hand-in-hand, resulting in a fantastic Weekend Showcase 3.16 edition. This is one playlist to hear from start to finish.
The mega-playlist includes 54 songs by artists and band representing 15 countries. They include: Australia, Canada, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, the United States, and Wales.
The playlist and tracklisting, as usual, follows the list of articles from the past week. Oh, check out the bevy of photo essays, too, featuring over fifty artists and bands.
Enjoy the great music and discover music’s hidden gems.
