Tuesday is always a great day to tune into The AIR  with a new episode of Radio Free Charleston to lighten your mood and make you forget the real world.  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.

Radio Free Charleston is all-new this week and we open with a track from The Settlement, just to remind you that this Friday and Saturday, SettleFest happens in Oak Hill, WV.   Please ignore the fact that in the show I only say it happens on Saturday. I ad-libbed the announcing with no script this week (as usual) and didn’t realize that it’s a two-day event until I started writing these notes.

In fact, our entire first half-hour showcases bands that will perform at Settlefest. Listen to the music, then head to the Ace Adventure Resort website for ticket info and a schedule.  You can also find details on the Facebook event page.  This looks like a wonderful event, and if there were even a remote chance that I would ever consider going camping, this might be the event I’d choose.

If only they didn’t have all these outdoor festivals outdoors.  Remember…it’s FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!

Anyway, the rest of our show is pretty loaded too, even though our third hour is irresponsibly self-indulgent.

We have new music from Novelty Island, Aliza Hava, Guitarmy of One, Sirius Bluray with David Synn and a new remix from Frenchy and The Punk.

Our third hour begins with Byzantine covering a tune by The Cars, and then it gets weirder. I bring you a mixtape with eleven covers of The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus.”

Because I can.

By the way, RFC will not be new next week. Yours truly needs a week off. I think it’s the first week off from the show I’ve had since early June.
