STUDIO B - PRESENTED BY SIERRA NEVADA

Molly Tuttle Live Thursday, March 14th between 2 & 3pm

It's not often we encounter an artist who excels so well in various styles and industries, but Molly Tuttle is certainly a cut above. Having recently won guitar/instrumentalist of the year awards with the International Blugrass Music Asoociation and the Americana Music Association among others, she now has a rich, warm album in which the quality of her songs are as prominent as her picking. She pays us a visit Thursday afternoon before her evening show on campus (with her band) at Isothermal...

Child Of The Woods is more than a collection of stories from Susi Gott Seguret about her childhood.  It's an invitation to go wandering, to traipse through the underbrush in search of adventure and excitement, experiencing the majesty of nature anew, through the eyes of a child of the woods.  It was a pleasure for producers of The Friday Feature to talk with this author, who grew up in Madison County, NC and after a time away, has returned there.  From the on-air interview of March 1, 2019.

Brass Band Playing in Parade in Asheville, NC
Vicki Dameron

New Orleans and others across the country have just wrapped up celebrating another Mardi Gras, including in our region - the popular group, Asheville Mardi Gras.  WNCW spoke with Michael Franco, a dedicated member of the group.  Franco shares what it means to be a member of the group, events throughout the year and the just held Annual Parade and Queens Ball.   These guys know how to party!!

Mike Conley - McDowell News

This More To The Story was a chance to focus on some top stories from McDowell County with The McDowell News and Reporter Mike Conley.  The discussion included the Wal-Mart in Marion employee, who was just one of many examples across the country of how someone with special needs would possibly be released from their jobs after the chain-merchandise giant said changes were being made.  Several other topics were also reviewed from this Feb, 27th edition.

It was the music that breathed a breath of fresh air into rock 'n' roll, packing audiences into clubs like CBGB in New York City,  the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA and the Milestone in Charlotte, NC. It sent fans into record stores to buy albums from bands they weren't hearing on the radio, including the B-52s, Television, the Talking Heads, Blondie, and the Ramones.

Tuesday, March 5th: Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras Celebration
Gerald Herbert -- Associated Press

Laissez les bontemps rouler! We've got a rich gumbo of a playlist fo'ya, mostly based out of New Orleans and its rich tradition of jazz, blues, R&B, and Cajun/Zydeco. But of course the Mardi Gras tradition extends well beyond the Crescent City, so we'll hear from the bayous and ports elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, too.

Greenville, SC is the hometown of this singer/songwriter, whose debut full-length 11:11 ranked #23 in WNCW's Top 100 of 2018! She plays regularly throughout the Upstate (including Greenville and Simpsonville this week), and has a show at Free Range Brewing in Charlotte on Friday night.

Lover's Leap Live Friday, March 8th between 11am & Noon

Mar 1, 2019

Billy Cardine & Mary Lucey (Acoustic Syndicate and the Biscuit Burners) have teamed up with Joel Timmons and Shelby Means (Sol Driven Train, Sally & George and Della Mae) to form Lovers Leap, named after the rock outcrop in Hot Springs where they first played together. On Friday they play Asheville, and on Saturday they play Johnson City (which kind of rhymes with Jon Stickley....coincidence?)

Sarah Shook & the Disarmers
John Gessner

Two of our favorite albums of the last couple years have been from Chapel Hill's Sarah Shook: 2017 Sidelong, and 2018's Years. If you can imagine someone inspired most by the Sex Pistols, Hank Williams, Nikki Lane, & Elliott Smith, that's Sarah and her band. They play the Grey Eagle in Asheville on Thursday night.
