Did you know fellow Texans Hayes Carll and the Band of Heathens have a history of jamming together? “We’ve played a lot of music together over the last 10 years,” says Carll, “and our creative relationship continues to evolve into its own thing. Hayes & The Heathens is that thing.” “This sort of medicine show, revival, rock and roll circus is a unique presentation of our music,” adds Ed Jurdi of Band of Heathens. “I think anyone who loves the spontaneity and chemistry of a live performance is going to be in for a magical evening. I know we’re going to have a good time!” They’ve collaborated on some new material together, and Hayes and at least a couple of the Heathens pay us a visit on Wednesday morning before their show in Asheville that evening, following their Tuesday Knoxville show.

ISMAY is a Folk/Americana music project driven by California-based singer/songwriter Avery Hellman. Their debut album Songs Of Sonoma Mountain was released in 2020 and named one of the 10 best Albums in the SF Bay Area. Growing up backstage at their grandfather Warren’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, ISMAY was inspired early on by artists such as Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, and Hazel Dickens. We’ve loved their new album Desert Pavement, which was recorded at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville. Join Martin Anderson as he hosts ISMAY for a live interview/performance, and some Guest DJ spins!

Our spring on-air fund drive has come to a close. We are tired, but very humble and grateful for all the love and support our listeners have shown us this week. Thanks to your generous donations, we have raised over $227,000 to help keep us afloat for another six months.It's always a homecoming of sorts, as some of our long-time phone volunteers return and new ones join the family. And we loved hearing from so many of our loyal listeners as they called in to donate to keep this independent radio station independent. We can't thank you enough.If you missed your opportunity to donate during our on-air campaign, please consider donating now by clicking on the red Donate button at the top of this page.

Our on-air fund drive has ended, but our fundraising never ends. If you missed your chance this past week, you can still show your support with our new t-shirt design, tote bag, ball cap, or a limited-release Goin' Across the Mountain Volume 5 CD. And, yes, we still have the WNCW Mountain Morning blend coffee from Dynamite Roasters — all available able as thank-you gifts for your donation.
