Welcome to Talking Culture! In this weekly interview series from 97.9 The Hill WCHL, you’ll hear from writers, performers, musicians and individuals involved in advancing and promoting cultural arts in our community.

Saturday, February 7, Cat’s Cradle Back Room is hosting “No Cocker,” a tribute show with local musicians coming together to play the songs from Joe Cocker’s classic 1970 album “Mad Dogs and Englishmen.” (The twist: all the singers will be women.)
