About the program
The Retro Cocktail Hour can be heard on Wyoming Public Radio. The music is served “shaken, not stirred” with vintage recordings from the dawn of the Hi-Fi Era. Among the artists featured on The Retro Cocktail Hour are lounge legends like Frank Sinatra and Juan Esquivel; tiki gods Martin Denny and Les Baxter; swinging combos featuring The Three Suns and Jack “Mr. Bongo” Costanzo; and mambo king Perez Prado. The series also spotlights up and coming lounge/exotica artists, including Waitiki, the Tikiyaki Orchestra, Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack, the Voodoo Organist and many more. Join host Darrell Brogdon at the underground martini bunker for the sounds of space age pop.
