Tuesday is a great day to tune into The AIR  with a new episode of Radio Free Charleston to thrill and delight you! To listen to The AIR, you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay here, and  listen to the cool embedded player found elsewhere on this page.  

You can hear Radio Free Charleston Tuesdays at 10 AM and 10 PM, with boatloads of replays throughout the week.

This week  Radio Free Charleston is loaded with an hour of great new music from old friends and new favorites and two hours of music recorded at The Empty Glass, in Charleston, West Virginia.

Our first hour opens with a brand-new tune from Deni Bonet.  Following that we have some great new tracks from Terry White and Pramuk, courtesy of our Chicago pipeline, as well as new tunes form J. Marinelli, Novelty Island, Erik Woods, Fiona Apple and The Paranoid Style.

I also remind you a few times that this coming Friday is Bandcamp Friday. You know what to do.

Our second and third hours are comprised entirely of music recorded live at The Empty Glass.  Chris Chaber,  the beloved former longtime owner of the Glass passed away over the weekend, following a long illness that saw him sell the bar and move to Connecticut. Chris was a tireless champion of local music and his loss will be felt for a long time by many.

I didn’t know quite the best way to acknowledge his passing here in the blog, then I realized that there was no better way than to play the music he loved so much. I will be forever in his debt for letting us record so many video episodes of RFC at The Empty Glass, and for all the support that he’s shown every musician and music lover in this city.

He was one of the best, and it sucks that’s he’s gone.

Check out this playlist, with links to the artist’s page, where available…
