Coming Up LIVE This Week At WNCW

	Thursday at 11am: Scrapomatic, a duo comprised of vocalists and songwriters Mike Mattison and Paul Olsen, schooled individually in jazz, roots, and blues music have a breathtaking ability to mesh stirring vocal machinations with heartfelt tenor.
	Thursday at 3pm: When The Roll Models (Rev. Billy C. Wirtz, the High Holy Prophet of Polyester who has been spreading his gospel of sanctified Shake, Rattle and Roll for the better part of three decades, and Mr. Victor Wainwright, the young Hepcat from Memphis by way of the Peach State who can lay down some wig-fryin' boogie woogie) play together, the result is a combination of barroom boogie, gut-bustin' chuckles, tore down blues, tear-jerkin' hillbilly, and original compositions guaranteed to knock the polish off your toes. With their four hands full of piano, frantic threads, and their stratospheric boogie woogies, see if you don't find certain portions of your anatomy moving involuntarily.
	Friday at 11am: Since writing her first song at age four, Hannah Miller has known exactly what she would be when she grew up. Of her new record released in January, Miller says, "I wanted an album that everyone who hears it can find themselves in, and I think we accomplished that. The music is authentic, and listeners immediately identify that."  Acoustic, lyrically driven, folk rock pop, with vocals as warm as a summer sunset and as inviting as a homecooked meal. She is off to a great start, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Local Color:
Friday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm

Join host Laura Blackley as we feature the best musical offerings from around the region, because Local Music matters. Check out Local Color on MySpace!

Friday, we'll feature a Studio B interview with Asheville and Boone-based Hope Massive , a reggae/dub outfit that combines vintage dancehall, rock, Latin jazz and world influences.  - Our album spotlight this week is "Feast or Famine," by the Charlotte and Asheville-based group The Zealots. Showcasing the in-your-face songwriting of frontman George Terry, the Zealots take on religion, taxes, death, and love.

On Sunday's show, we'll feature a conversation with Asheville-based spoken-word artist Glenis Redmond. Weaving intricate and colorful themes of hope, family, community, and redemption, Redmond's gift lies in her ability to appeal to the heart, rather than the head, touching on the universal human experience.  - Our album spotlight is "Wicker," the debut offering from the Josh Phillips Folk Festival. Pulling from reggae, Americana, world, and R&B/soul influences, this is a more intimate rendering of the alumnus of Boone/Asheville-based Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band.
