The Weekend Showcase 3.22 edition is a pretty special one. It features some of our favorite artists and bands of all-time plus several rising musicians with the potential to be massive stars. In addition, there are a number of politically-charged songs that will blow your mind. This isn’t the protest music of the ’60s and ’70s, but a new era of seismic affairs.
The artists and bands represent 12 countries, including: Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States.
The playlist and tracklisting, as usual, follows the list of articles from the past week.
Enjoy the great music and discover music’s hidden gems.
