Singer/songwriter/bandleader Oliver Kennan takes his musical cues from soul legends like Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding, so it was only right to have him as a guest on the JCC during the week of his album "Oh Boy"'s release. Kennan and host Mike Joseph discuss the process of music making, Oliver's musical influences, and play a mixture of soul that spans decades-from the 60s sounds of Sam Cooke and Pickett to 21st century soul revivalists like Charles Bradley.
