Description

There's so much great music that it can be overwhelming to try and keep up with what's coming out today, let alone important music from years past.

Each week on 'At First Listen,' cohosts Andrew and Dominique dive deep into music new and old that to broaden their musical horizons and (hopefully) discover new favorites.
