Join us Wednesday, December 28th, as we count down WNCW’s Top 100 of 2022, as voted by our listeners and staff! It’s a tradition that goes back to 1990 (previous lists here: https://www.wncw.org/top-100-releases-of-the-year ), and we look forward to continuing the tradition this year. This being a list of favorite albums, we’ll count down different tunes from these picks on Thursday, December 29th! Tune in both days between 9am and 6pm.

Communities along Florida's west coast are bracing for a life-threatening storm. Many residents are taking Milton very seriously, heeding calls to evacuate to higher ground. Others are staying put.

Tune in from 9am until 6pm as we count down your Top 100 albums of this past year, as voted by on-air hosts and hundreds of fellow listeners! We’ll play different tunes from these full-length and EP releases each of the two days.

Out this month is this new album from 3-time Grammy winner Ben Harper, no doubt one of our favorite musicians at WNCW. This one can be described as more subdued, introspective, even minimalist, compared to his previous albums.

It can be a workout trying to keep up with Americana’s most prolific songwriter! But for those who’ve lost count this is his 37th, and it’s filled with 11 wonderful new originals, performed by the band he’s been out on tour with lately. That tour recently included MerleFest (his “Favorite Place”?) and SkunkFest in our area. It will be officially released on June 21st on Sky Crunch Records.
