Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Nah. Once that apartment fell through over the winter, I recalibrated. I started taking a class in late winter and finished the certification program last month and been looking for jobs in that field. I’m open to moving and hybrid roles so if a job pops up somewhere I’m willing to live in for a year at minimum, I’ll probably relocate.
