About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

This week’s Off-Ramp song of the week is “Grief Thief” by the Los Angeles band Arjuna Genome.

Arjuna Genome was the solo project of Douglas James Sweeney, a Los Angeles born singer and songwriter. Sweeney died unexpectedly this month - he was 26.

Sweeney was an vital part of a dynamic, diverse independent music scene in Los Angeles. That community will pay tribute to him on Friday, October 28 at Stories Bookstore and Cafe in Echo Park
