Tuesday brings yet another cool new episode of RFC today on The AIR.   Radio Free Charleston, is three hours of great local, independent free-form radio this week.  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 tons of replays throughout the week.

We have a wonderfully segmented show for you this week. Our first hour is loaded with incredible new tunes from Mediogres, Clownhole, The Dollyrots, The Aquabats, Speedsuit, Flame Dream plus a lot of other great local and/or independent music.

Hour two of the show is largely encore songs from the especially fertile last few months. Amid nine great local acts, we also have Pirate music, Zydeco, an Earth Day tune and new stuff from a Beatle.

Our third hour (plus a little more) is a live recording of The Settlement from June 1 of this year. You’ll hear the band performing at Mountain Musical Festival’s Mountain Stage in Minden, WV, recorded by Team Dirty South.  This whole show is available free at Archive.org, and may be remixed for release on Bandcamp later. In the meantime, you can buy all of the band’s live and studio recordings at their Bandcamp Page. Note that I had to excise one song from the setlist for length. We’ll bring you that one next week. Many thanks for Colton Settle for giving me the okay to run this.

Links in the artist’s names below will take you to a website (where available) where you can find our more about them and maybe buy their music. Check out the playlist.
