Tootsie Center (Song Exchange)

Life Couch

Sunday 4PM-6PM

Life Couch has always been for the groove where you're seated, soundtracking the Rose City with aural delights in the key of ambient, jazz, funk, boogie, world and house music. Back after an extended hiatus, Life Couch with the Tootsie Center (Song Exchange) creates space for throw back jams and forgotten (but not lost) treasures, with an ear for sublime sounds that connect the past to the present, with the occasional food reference, and an emphasis on vinyl and classic selects from the crate.
