Our on-air fund drive begins Sunday, April 16th. But if you renew or become a new member by midnight Saturday, you can score the soon-to-be-retired Crowd Around the Mic Volume 26 two CD set for a special pre-drive pledge level of $100 (reg. $120). Plus, any donation of $80 or more will receive the WNCW Gold member card!
Brenda directs the marketing efforts for WNCW, including wncw.org, social media, community events, and volunteer relations. She designs most of the collateral for the station, including t-shirts and swag, "Crowd Around the Mic" artwork, and photographs most of the Studio B live acts.
Now through Saturday, we'll have phone volunteers on hand to answer your calls. You can also pledge online 24/7. We have a colorful new t-shirt, a cool new hat and this is the last chance to get Crowd Around the Mic Volume 25 before it is retired at the close of this drive. We'll have daily drawings, and lots of fun and frivolity! Stay tuned for more details!
Jake began a focus on old-time music in 2013, and has since collaborated with many of the genre’s best pickers. He’s been a repeated winner at Clifftop competitions, and in 2020 he received the prestigious Steve Martin Banjo Prize, plus released his first solo album “Spider Tales”, a fascinating exploration of Black and Indigenous mountain music (which he studied extensively in college.) He’s got a new direction in his sound with a new song called “The Man Was Burning”. He plays Isis in West Asheville on Saturday the 5th.
