Happy September Saturday! I hope everyone out there has been enjoying the sweater weather- I know I am. There’s nothing better than being able to wear something snuggly AND get away with open toed shoes. If you need your early fall perfectly soundtracked, then BTR is the sweater/sandals music combo you’ve been looking for! We’ve got amazing new stuff on the show today from a Swedish band named Goat, an Irish band named So Cow, and a Canadian man named, of course, Moonface. Stay tuned to check it all out!
