At 7pm Sunday evening, host Kim Clark will share music from some WNCW perennial favorites, including Darrell Scott, who was here for an interview and performance session this past June 7th - 23 years to the day of his visit here with Sam Bush, John Cowan and Larry Atamanuik back in 1996. Also on tap are the good vibes and sweet harmonies of Chatham Rabbits, whose songs are steeped in the culture and history of working-class North Carolina. 

WNCW staffers are happily gearing up for the station's annual LIVE Goin' Across The Mountain show which will be held Saturday, January 18, at The Foundation For Performing Arts Center, located on the campus of Isothermal Community College, in Spindale, North Carolina.

The Avett Brothers will perform at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina on All Hallows Eve - October 31st. The folk rock band released its 10th album, Closer Than Together, this month and it’s already topping charts and selling like crazy. They have a huge fan base here in North Carolina, their home state, and they have an equally large and devoted following worldwide. WNCW music hosts have been spinning tunes by the Avett Brothers for many years, and we’re playing songs from Closer Than Together on the daily.

The Slocan Ramblers hail from Toronto, Canada. Their debut album Queen City Jubilee  was a 2019 Juno Award Nominee for Traditional Roots Album of the Year. WNCW's Joe Kendrick caught up with them during a busy week of bluegrass and more at last month's IBMA festival in Raleigh. The Slocans are: Frank Evans: Banjo, Adrian Gross: Mandolin, Darryl Poulsen: Guitar, Alastair Whitehead: Bass

Wow. It's really hard to believe we have been on the air for more than 30 years! We have always been listener supported and we are so very thankful for all of the donations that have kept us alive and well for three decades.

Earlier this year we had a contest to see who could come up with the collest logo to celebrate our "Big Three Oh." The winner hands down was Rob Hibbitts who came up with this wonderful sunrise design.

Cosmic Fans Unite! We have a new Cosmic American Music Show shirt designed with Gram Parsons in mind. Cosmic Host Brad Watson was thinking about how super cool Gram's Nudie Suit was, and he and WNCW's Brenda Craig came up with this design based on the Nudie. The shirt is the show's 10th Annivesary tee. We all LOVE it and know you will too! You can call us and pledge at 800 245 8870 and  you can pledge online... just click here > DONATE and pick up the new Cosmic T-shirt.

We all love us some Warren Haynes Pre-Jam and Christmas Jam - two special nights of incredible music! It's held every year in December at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC.

Make a pledge before 9pm tonight, to your favorite public radio station - WNCW and we'll automatically enter you into our fantastic Pre-Jam Giveaway. The winner will receive two VIP tickets to the Pre-Jam - December 13th, and the Christmas Jam on December 14th. It also includes a two night stay at the Garden Hilton in downtown Asheville, NC AND access to WNCW's pre-party Pre-Jam and catered dinner.

It's Wednesday night and we all know what that means... it's time to open the Jar of Jam and enjoy the Grateful Dead. Each Wednesday we love to bring our fans The Dead Hour with David Gans and Dead Air with Trent Henley! We have lots of Deadheads out there in WNCW land and we love to break out the groovy tunes, every hump day, just for the faithful.
