Mason Jennings will be in the KXCI studios today touring behind his latest release, Blood Of Man, on Brushfire Records. He will be performing Thursday night at the Rialto Theatre.

KXCI Community Radio: Woodstock Tribute Time Change

The show will now air from 4:30 to 9pm on Monday, September 14th. The reason for the change? Simply too much great music - that's a great problem to have!
