Welcome Back!
I’d like to take a second to welcome everybody back to “reality” now that Summer is gone for all intents and purposes. It was a very busy Summer for us at WUMB for lots of reasons, but the one thing I can assure you is that we have some exciting Events and Programming to share with you. Read More…
I simply can’t believe how fast time flies, and how we’re already into the month of August here at WUMB. I hope you’re enjoying Summer and that it’s not going by too fast! A couple of notes from the desk of the Program Director:
I wanted to make sure you get an invite to see Will Dailey performing in Martha’s Vineyard on September 23rd. Keep a watch out on the air, through our website and social media on how to sign up. This will be a completely free show for Members and Non-Members on the Island…just a way for us to say thanks! Read More…
Jess has been focusing on a different producer each week on the Producer Spotlight. Listen in as she talks about the producer of the week and plays something they’ve worked on. On Fridays it’s an entire set of music to wrap up the feature. For example, the month of June was focused on regional producers like Zachariah Hickman, Lorne Entress and Crit Harmon. Read More…
One of the obligations of family can be carrying on the family business when the patriarch or matriarch is unable to continue the work they built their life around. Read More…
Scott Alarik continues to bring you the stories behind the music on Folk Tales. This month you’ll learn about The Newport Folk Festival and its glories, myths, and controversies. Scott will also feature Utah Phillips, the songwriter-raconteur who helped rebuild folk music. He’ll take you into the life and career of Judy Collins, the ’60s star who expanded the frontiers of folk and pop. And he’ll end the month with Folkways Records, the stubborn little label that ignited the revival––and the indie music industry.
So don’t miss Folk Tales, Saturdays at noon and rebroadcast on Fridays at 5:00am!
With Jess Phaneuf moving to the mid-day shift, she’ll continue with the 10 o’clock Coffee Break, sharing something different, mostly new music, each morning. She’ll also bring her Producer Spotlight feature to the 11 o’clock hour. And this month she’ll debut a brand new feature for mid-days – Lunchtime Requests during the 12 o’clock hour… feel free to email, call (), Facebook or tweet (@WUMBradio) the songs you’d like to hear and Jess could play them mid-day on WUMB!
