WE WILL REPEAT PORTIONS OF TONIGHT’S SHOW
The motto tonight was “The show must go on.” A power outage on the URI campus on January 7 wreaked havoc on WRIU taking down both our limited FM signal and our streaming capability. In addition, our archives also went down. Whereas the FM signal in its very limited capacity has been restored, the stream has not. I had high hopes it would be back for tonight’s show, but such was not the case and fingers are crossed for next week for the return of both the stream and archives access. In the meantime and not wanting to fall out of practice, I went on with tonight’s show to the 10-15 mile radius (and that’s to the West and South only) of listenership we have. We continued our Alt Country A to Z feature tonight focusing on “R” artists. That occupied the entire 2nd half of the program and for those who can only stream WRIU and thereby missed the segment, I WILL BE REPEATING IT on the Feb 6 show. We began with new releases the first hour followed by our weekly C&W segment. New 2025 albums and singles making the Barndance hit parade for the first time tonight came from Gary Louris, Lilly Hiatt, Julian Baker & TORRES, A. Lee Edwards, The Seldom Scene, Olivia Ellen Lloyd, Kris Delmhorst, Early James (my favorite so far this year!), Cristina Vane, Them Coulee Boys, Isaac Martinez, Paige Plaisance, and Sunny War. Buttshaker of the week???? Roy Hall with Grady Martin on guitar with “Three Alley Cats.” Now let’s all grab a cold one or three, and get to the goods….
