The debut album of PJ Moon and The Swappers, “Memoirs of Living in a Car,” was released last October. The album is an 11-track mix of everything—rock, soul, funk—and even a little bit of country. “Memoirs of Living in a Car” isn’t just a deep title, either. It was Moon’s reality. Over the phone Moon […]
Central Oregon radio can already go from straight-down-the-middle mainstream to alternative rock to community-flavored talk in the push of a button.
