Once again it’s Tuesday on The AIR  and that means it’s time for a new  Radio Free Charleston and a new The Swing Shift! 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 new stuff on Radio Free Charleston this week, with loads of new music, tons of indie stuff, a few themed sets and a nod to the late Mark Scarpelli, and his awesome Beatles Tribute Marathon, which happened a little more than five years ago.

Our new local tracks this week come from John Lancaster, Jim Lange, The Switch, Byzantine, Corduroy Brown and more.

New Indie music is courtesy of Lia Caton, SkyFlake, Austin Grimm, Logical Fleadh , The Anchoress, Annie Capps and more.

On top of that, we have just-released music from Jethro Tull and The Smashing Pumpkins.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store. Live links will take you to the artist’s pages so you can find out more about them, buy their music and find out where to see them perform live…

You can hear this episode of Radio Free Charleston Tuesday at 10 AM and 10 PM on The AIR, with replays Wednesday at 9 AM,  Thursday at 3 PM, Friday at 9 AM, Saturday at Noon and Midnight,  and  Monday at 11 AM, exclusively on The AIR. Now you can also hear a different episode of RFC every weekday at 5 PM, and we bring you a marathon all night long Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I’m also going to  embed a low-fi, mono version of this show right in this post, right here so you can listen on demand.

 

After RFC, stick around for encores of last week’s episodes of  MIRRORBALL at 1 PM and Curtain Call at 2 PM.

At 3 PM we offer up another new episode of The Swing Shift. Every week yours truly strives to bring you the best of over 100 years of Swing Music on one of our most-listened-to programs.

This week it’s a mixtape presentation of “Gypsy Jazz.”  I’m trying to find a name for this genre that isn’t quite as culturally insensitive, but I haven’t yet. This show is a full hour of music inspired by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and their Paris Hot Club band.
