A Rummage Event at WKSU this Saturday
Every week, folk and classical CDs come streaming into WKSU from around the world. Some go into the music library. Many do not. These CDs are rejected because they don't fit with WKSU's programming, or their sound is not right - or the library already has the same songs by different artists. This Saturday (2/11) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., come to the WKSU Broadcast Center in Kent and take home some of these misfit CDs. All CDs are free, but there will be a suggested $5 donation to attend the event. The WKSU nerve center is located at the corner of Summit and Loop on the Kent State campus. Doors will open at exactly 10 a.m. See you then!
James Taylor Presale
Sweet baby James returns to Northeast Ohio as he brings his band to Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica on Monday, July 9. Tickets go on-sale Friday (2/10), but, thanks to Live Nation, you can buy them today until 10 p.m. by clicking this link and entering the code WKSU. One of the greatest singer/songwriters of his generation, Taylor's timeless music has become part of the American musical lexicon.
Joe Pusateri at Akron Roundtable
Join WKSU on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. for an Akron Roundtable address from Quaker Station at Quaker Square Inn in Akron. This month's featured speaker is the Joe Pusateri, President of Elite Homes, presented in conjunction with Leadership Akron. His topic will be "Extreme Makeover: Leadership Edition." WKSU's broadcast of the Akron Roundtable is made possible through support of North Akron Savings Bank.
Elite Homes is one of the largest locally-owned home-building companies in Kentucky, and currently developing eight communities in the Louisville metro area. Pusateri is currently campaign chair of the Louisville Fund for the Arts. In 2007 and 2010, his company was featured as the builder for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Go to AkronRoundtable.org.
Live Tweeting the Grammys
This Sunday (2/12), beginning at 4 p.m., Folk Alley will be live Tweeting the results of the 54th Grammy Awards ceremonies in Los Angeles. Follow @FolkAlley and be the first to know who picks up folk and Americana prizes during the pre-telecast event, as well as the results of contests with artists - such as Bon Iver and The Civil Wars - that should make it into the main event later that evening.
A Stream for Those in Love - And One for Everyone Else
Each year, Folk Alley marks Valentine's Day with two streams. Love features the best in romantic music from your favorite folk artists. Alt-Love is the exact opposite - music for relationships gone wrong, the moment after love fades and a couple is now two people left alone. Find both streams for a limited time at FolkAlley.com. Happy holiday!
