Nutmeggers who have turned their radios on over the past 20 years are probably familiar with Vinnie Penn.
He’s a DJ with a weekday morning talk show called “The Vinnie Penn Project” on iHeartradio affiliate station 960/WELI and a 25-year veteran comedian though, according to Penn, a few of his former teachers may argue he got his start at a desk in grade school.
“CT radio listeners, both when I was doing Top 40 and now doing news/talk, are the best,” Penn said via email.
Online arts galas take many forms: a multi-star concert at the Goodspeed, an array of bestselling writers at the Mark Twain House, a Steve Turre sextet for the Hartford Jazz Society and stars whose live stops in New Haven got postponed.
