Our on-air fund drive is over, but our need for support continues. Donate online here to get one of these thank-you gifts!

We have had a fantastic week of fundraising. We ended the official drive at $294,844, which beats our record by a few dollars. We would love to reach $300,000 by the end of the weekend. So, if you didn't get an opportunity to donate this week, it is not too late! Click here to donate now. We still have some great thank-you gifts available. Your generosity during our Fall Pledge Drive reminds us just how powerful this community is. Thanks to you, WNCW will keep informing, inspiring, and entertaining listeners across our region with our eclectic mix of music and programming. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Jeff Whitworth of AVL Fest, the Grey Eagle, and other live music venues, and Richard Emmett, Program Director of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation’s Blue Ridge Music Center, join Martin Anderson in a discussion of the classic recordings on the newly released Music from the Land of the Sky: The 1925 Asheville Sessions, and this week’s panel sessions and concerts in Asheville.

Fiddler Wayne Martin is part of the team that is reissuing recordings from the Historic Asheville Sessions of 1925 -- the newly released Music from the Land of the Sky: The 1925 Asheville Sessions -- and organizing the public celebration to commemorate the 100th anniversary of this important event. He’ll join Carol Rifkin on Sunday afternoon to talk about it all.

Everyone who has entered by 9 pm Friday will be entered. If you haven't donated yet, you can call us at 1-800-245-8870 or click the "Donate" button above to do it now!
