It’s time to wrap up Season 17 of Balcony Radio programming. There’s no better way to shut it down than with a couple hours of music. As always, the season finale is an episode of X-Chrome, our show dedicated to the women of rock/pop/soul/country and all genres between. We’d normally tell you to hit the lights on your way out . . . but the ladies in this episode blew the roof off the place, so it doesn’t matter.
