"We finally landed an interview with Noah Byrd. Spend an hour with this local songwriter, right before he leaves to tour the Pacifc Northwest. With a voice compared to Elliot Smith and Bradley Nowell, he combines melancholic vocals with punk-influenced acoustic guitar, giving an aggressive undertone to his otherwise laid-back sound."
This week we'll feature Cincinatti's own Ass Ponys and the 2001 recording Lohio. If you haven't heard of the Ponys, you may have heard of frontman Chuck Cleaver and his current band, Wussy. All new to you? No worries. Sit back and enjoy. It's indie rock with an Americana feel--swell sounds for a summer day.
Focus on 1970’s jazz tonight: West coast cool, a little funk, some great live performances. Sarah Vaughan, Brubeck, Ella, Herbie Mann, Bill Evans with Stan Getz, Art Farmer, Al Jarreau, and more.
A chance encounter that changed my life... you're going to meet that person -- and we will play some tunes to reflect that. As a bonus feature, the mystery guest will be my 100th interview.
