Lick the Plate on 93.9 The River where the Detroit, Windsor, and Michigan culinary and music communities tell their stories, is celebrating the music side of the show by featuring the Detroit Music Awards (DMA) taking place May 4, 2018 at the Fillmore in Detroit. DMA Marketing Director Kathy Vargo and special guest DJ Pleasure Kitten who is nominated in the DJ Electronic Dance category join host David Boylan for a fun week of shows. They will share some memorable moments from past DMA’s and give a sneak peak at what is on tap for the 2018 show. Kathy and DJ Pleasure Kitten will also share some favorite concert memories, their dream concert lineup, top picks for places to eat around Detroit and their choice for a 3-course ‘last supper’. The show was recorded at Gusoline Alley in Royal Oak. Gus’ is a watering hole favored by Detroit musicians for years and host David Boylan’s go-to Royal Oak bar and occasional Lick the Plate recording location.
Host David Boylan includes a “Music Wednesday” show in his 5 episode weekly Lick the Plate series on 93.9 The River so celebrating Detroit music on the show was a perfect fit. “Lick the Plate at its core tells my guests stories through a food and music angle so when I noticed the DMA’s coming up I immediately reached out to my friend Kathy Vargo who plays a big part in promoting the show. She signed on immediately and suggested bringing nominee DJ Pleasure Kitten on the show. Talking food and music with those two at Gusoline Alley will go down as one of the more memorable Lick the Plate recording sessions ever.”
Kathy Vargo promotes the DMA’s through her company On The Rocks Detroit, a full service Public Relations, Event Planning & Sponsorships and Promotion and Staffing firm. “I’m a big fan of 93.9 The River and Lick the Plate so when David approached me about this about this it sounded like a riot, and made perfect sense as another vehicle to promote the DMA’s,” she enthused. DJ Pleasure Kitten who has performed internationally, is the resident DJ at Small’s in Hamtramck, and also runs Darque Productions was equally excited. “I’ve know GYNP from 93.9 The River for years through my career as a DJ and had always heard good things about Lick the Plate. When Kathy told me we were recording at Gus’ that’s all I needed to hear. It was a lot of fun recording with David.”
