The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Show - A musical mid-life crisis -- a late-night search for meaning and happiness airs on WRIR LP Monday nights from 9 PM to 11 PM. Stream the show @ www.wrir.org
Hey Listeners,
I have a lot of music to share tonight and maybe some snippets of an interview I did with Will Oldham (aka Bonnie Prince Billy) last Sunday before his show at the Tin Pan last Monday. I will be playing lots of new music that I have acquired over the past several months many from bands I’ve never played on my show before.
And yes I am live in the studio on W. Broad Street. And yes it’s snowing like crazy and the roads are awful, but I felt it was fitting that I make the trek down to do the show live since it will be my last live show of the year. We are in the midst of our move to our new home and my show on 12/22 and 1/5 will either be pre-recorded or a repeat. The next time I am on the air I will be at the board in our new home.
I also thought it was fitting I play I lot of new to me music. The station has been all about discovery for me since I first got involved. I am excited to continue to grow, explore, and discover in our new home.
So Happy Holidays and New Year and I’ll be with you live again in 2026.
