Programming: Studio B
  Studio B is where the live music happens. Under the supervision of WNCW's own golden-eared audio engineer, Dennis Jones, Studio B is the station's state-of-the-art recording facility that hosts regional, national, and even international artists. WNCW broadcasts performances and interviews live on just about any given day. Some of the finest tracks captured in Studio B find their way to WNCW's self-produced Crowd Around the Mic CDs.

listen to crowd around the mic, volume 10

We'll post clips of tracks that have made their way on to Crowd Around the Mic, Volume 10 as soon as possible.  Straight from Studio B  performances to your CD player, brought to you by WNCW.  Listen Now!


How do I get my band or myself scheduled for a live interview in Studio B?

You must have a CD that is commercially available to our listeners.  Then please contact Martin Anderson, or for Local Color acts, Laura Blackley, about the possibility of playing in Studio B.

Are recordings of interviews available?
Only those podcasts or YouTube videos we have posted on our website.

Can I come in to watch a Studio B performance?
No.  Due to space limitations, and in consideration of the artists' comfort, observers are not permitted in Studio B during live interview recordings.

Is Studio B available for booking and recording bands?
No.  Studio B is used exclusively to host artists for interviews and performances for broadcast on WNCW 88.7.

On Sept 17: "Old school but never old," Boulder Acoustic Society is an impressive mash-up blues, folk, swing, indie and world music.  The quartet of violin, accordion, ukulele, bass and percussion adds a unique, quirky twist to acoustic/roots music. Right up WNCW's alley!

  Also on Sept 17: Velvet Truckstop is a powerful new 5-piece band out of the Asheville area.  Blending Classic Country and Blues, Southern Rock and Modern Americana, the band recently finished their first full-length album, Sweet Release, and will blew the roof off Studio B again!
