For today and tomorrow's Coffee Breaks, we want to take you through a journey of artists lost in 2020.
And join us Saturday, Dec. 19 for 2020 Remembered, The Current's tribute to artists we lost this year. From 3 to 7 p.m. Central, we'll honor the life, music, and legacy of many artists lost in this difficult year.
Today, let's dive in and remember a few of them and express our gratitude for their creativity and their contributions to music.
For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what artists would you like to hear that we lost in 2020?
