OMR 07/23/2022    Justin Hickerson and Friends    Download/Listen

My friend Justin Hickerson joins me in the first OMR broadcast from KOPN's new location on Bernadette Drive in Columbia. We had a blast and Justin played some songs as we visited with a bunch of friends who stopped in to say hello.

Supercool to broadcast from the new facility, with only a few technical hiccups...lol.
Check out Justin out and about. He performs with a number of different projects around Columbia including Paul Weber and the Scrappers, The Ridgerunners, The Daves and Foxteeth.

Here's Justin in the studio performing 'Scared'...
