Our Live Music Friday guest today here on Current State is Phil Denny. Phil played for us last December just before the Christmas music show he puts on in Lansing every year. We’ve invited him back to hear music from his new CD “Upswing.” Denny is performing at a CD release concert Saturday night at The Loft in Lansing.

Phil Denny performs "Diggin' On" and "Soak It Up" live from WKAR's Studio S.
