Kristen Eck's June 27th, 2025 BumbleBee Brunch Indie music playlist: Free-for-All Friday!

BumbleBee Radio is thrilled to welcome Newbury Comics as a sponsor of BumbleBee Brunch. Newbury Comics is one of my favorite places to get lost-in for an afternoon. Music, Blind Boxes, Pop Culture stuff and more. Newbury Comics, for a wicked good time!

Free-for-All Friday Edition!

I decided to swerve-out-of the lane I normally travel-in on BumbleBee Brunch and go "Free Form" for Friday's show. At a couple of points the BumbleBee Bus ended-up off the road and into the woods (see Carl Douglas in Hour Two,) but it was fun. Hope you had fun too! Here's the show playlist: HOUR ONE:
