Tuesday on The AIR  it’s Radio Free Charleston time, and in honor of holidays and anniversaries, we offer up a 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 on this page, and  listen to the cool embedded player found elsewhere on this page.

Jully 4 was the official 16th anniversary of the video version of Radio Free Charleston and you can hear our celebration at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday.   This week our latest Radio Free Charleston digs into the archives of our video program and brings you songs recorded especially for the video incarnation of RFC between 2006 and 2014, including all three episodes devoted to the 2012 Tribute To The Troops show at the Saint Albans City Park Ampitheater, That makes up most of our second hour, with great music from Johnny Compton, Breedlove, In The Company of Wolves, Under Social, Harrah and more.

Our third hour brings you the audio from our video tribute to LiveMix Studio, with music and interviews with Raymond Wallace, Mel Larch, Brian Young and Whistlepunk, Dave Roberts and The Nanker Phelge and members of Feast of Stephen.

But our first hour kicks off with brand new music from Corduroy Brown, plus new tracks from Curious Grace & Black Rabbit, Brian Diller, The Amos Steele Company, Slate Dump, Reginia Spektor, Adrian Belew and more.

Throughout the show we continue our mix of local, independent and major-label artists, just to keep you on your toes. We actually recorded this show on July 4, so if my announcing seems a little distracted, there’s plenty of reason for that.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store (live links will be updated later Tuesday)…
