The Roots Music Project: Danny Kroha Live In-Studio

A bright, sunny day brought some bright, sunny music to WEMU!  This week on The Roots Music Project, host Jeremy Baldwin welcomed singer/songwriter Danny Kroha to the WEMU studios for a live interview and performance.

Danny Kroha is most famous for his work with The Gories, as well as Danny & The Darleans and Danny & The Doll Rods.  All of these projects had blues and roots influences, but in 2015, Third Man Records released Danny's Folk, Blues and Gospel album, "Angels Watching Over Me."  The albums features 16 Public Domain compositions played on guitar, banjo, dulcimer, diddley bow, washtub bass, and jug.

Jeremy Baldwin is an Illinois native who has lived in Ypsilanti for 27 years. Before joining WEMU he hosted The Crossroads Music Program for WSDS in Salem, MI. Early exposure to legendary Chicago music stations WLS, WXRT and WBEZ sparked his interest in radio at a young age. The late Stuart Rosenberg of WBEZ's 'The Earth Club' and 'Radio Gumbo' radio fame said " “I love everything, all music, and that’s why I do what I do. My great passion has always been to share the things I love.” This is the creed that Jeremy attempts to live up to as a radio host.
