Loose Connections Playlists
I’ve curated a bunch of groovy themed playlists for your listening pleasure over the years here on Loose Connections, so I thought it might be helpful to compile a big ol’ list of them all here to make it easier to find and listen to them!
All Loose Connections playlists feature artists from the past, present and future across all kinds of genres, including country, soul, Americana, rock’n’roll, classic singer/songwriter, reggae, punk, funk, underground, exotica, jazz - generally on the mellow side.
Most of them are on Spotify, Apple and YouTube, and if they are not yet on the platform you prefer, they will be soon. This will become a standalone section on Loose Connections that you can check into anytime to find new playlists.
I play my own playlists all the time while I’m at home cooking or cleaning or entertaining or out and about walking, at the supermarket etc - they are pretty great if I do say so myself!
Happy listening music lovers - please give me a little heart on this post so I know you’re enjoying! x
