Today, in celebration of July 4th Independence Day, we'll listen to artists who were born in or very close to Philadelphia, the city where it all went down! We don't have time to hit up everybody, but we'll get a lot of 'em, with special features on Ray Bryant, Bobby Timmons, Lee Morgan & more plus new release artists also from Philly! Tune in today (Tuesday 3/3/2018) from 3-7pm eastern by clicking here. The show will not be interrupted today so the Ride Home happens at 5pm. See you then! - Kendo
