Can you believe 2023 is almost over? Here we are in December - which is also Bootsy's theme for Show #605.

We have songs with December in the title. We have bands with December in their band name. We also have songs in tribute to Candle Lighting Day (December 10) during Bootsy's Bands. We also have Nick's Picks, Something Completely Different and an original song by Nick! Here's who you can expect to hear during the show:

• Abby Girl & the Real Deal
• Blue Solace
• Corners of Sanctuary
• South of Summer
• Electric Candlelight (Bootsy's Band)
• Bell Book & Candle (Bootsy's Band)
• Matt Hopper & the Roman Candles (Bootsy's Band)
• Lou Reed (Nick's Pic)
• Bob Marley (Something Completely Different)
• Red Moon in December
• As December Falls
• Hotter Than December
• and Nick Thonas

Nick & Bootsy play music from local, independent bands & musicians from across the world - after all, everybody is local to somewhere!

You can be a part of the show by recording a liner for the show! We've been soliciting liners from the bands we play and the fans who listen. We play a 10-15 second liner between each song on the playlist during the show. If you are so inclined, we'd love to have one from you. All we ask is that you use the following as a guideline:

Feel free to be creative - add a musicbed, customize the message to your band (i.e. include URLs from your Facebook, Twitter or where fans can buy your music). As long as we know who you are and you ID the show, we're happy!

We don’t own any copyrights to the music we play on The Basement Tapes with Nick & Bootsy other than our own original tunes. Those are owned by the artists. If you like what you hear, please buy it!
