Sunday means it’s Detour time. We’ll pay tribute to two recently-departed artists – their names may not be familiar but they played key roles in their respective groups. It will be a very very difficult Detour Cover Set today – you’ll need a Weasel-like musical brain or be extremely good at Googling. And listen for your chance to win tickets to see Langhorne Slim and David Wax Museum at Ram’s Head On Stage in Annapolis. It’s Detour, the folk, roots & world music show on 89.7 WTMD at 5 pm.
