Coming Up LIVE In Studio B:

Friday, May 9th at 1pm: NEW TIME: Mike Farris. A guy working out his salvation with a guitar, Mike Farris isn't the kind of person you're likely to find giving the altar call at a youth rally. You are likely to find him bringing down the house at a live performance. His set was one of the highlights of this past year's Warren Haynes Christmas Pre-Jam.

Friday, May 9th at 3pm: Bambu Station. Critically acclaimed as one of the most profound and provocative reggae groups since Bob Marley and the Wailers. Led by singer Jalani Horton.

Friday, May 9th at 5pm: Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass. The unique and distinctive sound of the Paisley’s is rooted in rock solid guitar rhythm of Bob and Dan Paisley, and their soulful lead and harmony vocals, and was once referred to in “Bluegrass Unlimited” as “bluegrass with the bark left on.”

You can now see segments from live Studio B sessions at our new You Tube channel! Check out www.youtube.com/wncwstudiob for performances by Jonathan Scales Fourchestra with Jeff Sipe, Laura Reed & Deep Pocket, JJ Gey and Mofro, Donna Jean and the Tricksters, and more!
