Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from May 16, 2025

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

Fri. Jun 20th, 7pm - 9pm: Acid Jazz Hands Celebrates Brian Wilson (More info...)
This week on Acid Jazz Hands, we're putting the show tunes aside to celebrate the legendary Brian Wilson, one of the greatest composers the world has ever seen. Join Beach Boys fanatic Bronwyn B as she plays some of her favorite Brian songs, takes you down the rabbit hole of weird and wonderful Beach Boys recordings, reminisces about her many, many times seeing Brian and various members of his extended musical family live, tries not to get too emotional, and inevitably fails in this quest. Ding dang!
