Welcome to November!

Quick. Name three of your favorite Brazilian singers. Chances are, your top-of-mind list won’t include this week’s featured artist, singer, and songwriter Joao Bosco.

But his creativity is legendary and in 2017 he traveled to Las Vegas to receive the music industry’s highest honor: A Lifetime Achievement Award at the Latin Grammys.

We’ll salute four decades of an amazing career with two hours of his very best songs, plus a surprise or two!

Happy Listening,

Scott Adams
