Tuesday always brings you local music and other goodies like Swing and Psychedelica on The AIR. This week, something came up that prevented us from recording a new episode of Radio Free Charleston, but I think we more than made up for it. You can tune in at The AIR website, or listen in on this sweet little embedded radio player…
Today at 10 AM we are bringing you four episodes of Radio Free Charleston from January, 2017. These have been offline for over a year, and we’ll post a combined playlist for all four at the bottom of this post, after the jump. At 10 PM we’ll replay the first three of these, and bump RFC International from it’s normal replay spot for a week. These four shows include such incredible local musical acts as Deni Bonet, The Company Stores, Ann Magnuson, Karma To Burn, Lady D, Chuck Biel, Mother Nang, QiET, Stark Raven and many, many others.
Radio Free Charleston can be heard Tuesday at 10 AM and 10 PM, with replays Thursday at 2 PM, Friday at 8 PM and Saturday at 11 AM and Midnight, exclusively on The AIR.
At 2 PM it’s time for Nigel Pye and his psychedelic mixtape program, Psychedelic Shack.
3 PM sees a new hour of The Swing Shift, and you’ll find the playlist for that show below the RFC playlist at the bottom of this post. We open this week’s show with a cut from Jack’s Cats Swing sextet because Jack Malmstrom, the proprietor of said cats, left us a nice comment on last week’s show notes. Plus, they are a swingin’ bunch of folks. If you’re on the Left Coast, you can catch them in August and September at various gigs in Los Angeles and Pasedena. Visit their website for more information.
You can hear The Swing Shift Tuesday at 3 PM, with replays Wednesday at 7 AM, Thursday at 7 PM and Saturday at 9 AM, only on The AIR. You can also hear all-night marathons, seven hours each, starting at Midnight Thursday and Sunday evenings.
Remember, you can tune in to The AIR at all hours of the day and night for a variety and quality of programming that you will not find anywhere else.
