Train To Skaville
Train To Skaville originates at WCBN-FM in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
DJ Brian Tomsic on air since 1987 bringing musical treasures of Jamaican music of the 60s and 70s. Ska, rocksteady, early reggae, dub, DJ sounds and more from a vast collection of hits and collectible obscurities.
The show is now broadcast on over 20 community community radio stations across the US and Canada and we're always looking for new stations worldwide to share our love of these irresistible sounds!
We'll be uploading new shows weekly, and an occasional bonus episode form the archives.
