Named after an imaginary radio station, 79.5 was started in 2010 by singer-songwriter Kate Mattison. Joined by singer and rapper Lola Adanna, sax player/flautist Izaak Mills, drummer Caito Sanchez (Charles Bradley, Lee Fields) and bassist Andrew Raposo (Midnight Magic, Hess Is More) rounding out the rhythm section, the sound of 79.5 is full-bodied and straight from the heart�recalling the thrilling work of Patrice Rushen as well as the type of dance music that�s been the beating heart of New York City for eons.
