On this week’s episode of Acoustic Café, we’re taking a moment to note our 30th birthday. This week in 1995, Acoustic Cafe started with five affiliate stations (inluding The River in Detroit/Windsor). On this show, you’ll hear the best in-studio moments from that first year… good enough to do 29 more!

See the playlist below and listen to the episodes on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
