It’s hard to believe we’re already well into 2023, so I guess we all have to start dressing like Zardoz now.

Despite that, it is cool that we’re three Tuesdays into the new year on The AIR  and that means it’s Radio Free Charleston time, and we’re back with another new three-hour episode of Radio Free Charleston. 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.

We have three full hours of music, much of it new, local and not, at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday.   This week our latest Radio Free Charleston has killer new tunes from Jeremy Short, Sierra Ferrell, The Switch and more, plus we have a nearly hour-long megamix of David Bowie tunes, as a sort of tardy birthday salute.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store. Live links will take you to the artist’s page, but I’m only doing local and indie artists this week, ‘coz it’s a holiday as I write this and I’m lazy…
