UPCOMING SPECIAL BOUDIN BARNDANCE SHOW INFO:
April 30– Album You Need to Hear feature
May 14 – North Carolina twang night (tent)
A little late getting this out, so sorry about that. It was the final week of our Radiothon fundraiser. Thanks to all who called in or pledged online for your support! If you missed it, you can still make a donation by going to the WRIU homepage and either clicking on the radiothon image on the page or on the DONATE button at the top of the page. As for tonight’s show, even though it was still Radiothon it was mostly back to the normal format with new releases dominating the first hour followed by the weekly C&W set and the second half devoted to playing the field. New albums and singles this evening came from Fruit Bats, Michaela Ann, Taj Mahal, Don Williams (reissue), Cactus Lee, and Jade Bird from the upcoming Guy Clark tribute. Hope you were able to listen, but if not check out the LISTEN link above to check out the archive. Buttshaker of the week????
