Featuring the humorous musical
stylings of:
Tommy Foster (with Bob Motycka)
Tommy Foster makes his mark by "strategically
deconstructing familiar pop songs and reassembling
them into meaningless montages or seemingly endless
medleys...without the absolute predictability that
forces the dumbing down en masse of any audience,
listening or not."
Don't miss
Tommy
Foster Saturday night! Bring your requests!
