Secret Music Playlist, April 28, 2013

Hi -

  Here's my playlist for Sunday, April 28, 2013. Today I played a lot of
music from artists who either played live in the area recently (Louis Landon and Greg Maroney) or
who are coming to the area soon (Ben Neill and Brian Henke). Also found an
old Tangerine Dream CD while shopping on Record Store Day, so I played
that too. Enjoy!

Upcoming concerts

Hi -

  Here's some information on upcoming concerts of interest to Secret Music listeners in the Hudson Valley area. Hope to see you at some of these shows!

Friday, April 26, 2013, 8PM - Guitarist Gerry O'Beirne will be playing at the Rosendale Cafe in Rosendale, NY. Gerry is a guitar player from Ireland and other points. I really enjoyed his first CD, Half Moon Bay and I'm glad to see him coming to the Hudson Valley. For more info, here's a link:

http://www.rosendalecafe.com/

Friday, April 26, 2013, 7PM - Pianists Louis Landon, Joe Bongiorno and Greg Maroney will perform on the same bill at the Rockland Conservatory of Music in Pearl River, NY. These are 3 great piano players who I have all played on my show. I've interviewed Louis and Greg live on Secret Music, and Louis has played live for me before, too. Definitely worth the drive. Here's a link for more info:

Tuesday, April 30, 2013, 7PM. Guitarists Brian Henke, Helen Avakian, Mark Sganga and Christopher Brellochs will perform at the Dutchess Hall Theater at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Brian is a great guy and talented guitarist and Helen is a renowned local guitarist. I don't know the others, but they're both well known guitarists. If you're looking for an evening of great acoustic guitar music, this is a must see (even though it's on a Tuesday night). Here's a link for more info:

http://www.helenavakian.com/

Wednesday, May 15, 2013, 8PM - Trumpet player Ben Neill will be playing at the Dogwood in Beacon, NY along with Theo Metz. I'm not sure it it'll be ambient, jazz or whatever, but Ben is one of the most talented trumpeters out there. And he lives right here in the Hudson Valley. He also invented the mutantrumpet, which must be seen to be believed. Here's a link for more info:

Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 7PM - Cellist Matthew Schoening will appear at Jim Cole's Gathering Room concert series in Glastonbury, CT. I know it's a long drive on a work night, but it's a good show. Matthew is a great cellist, and has family in the Hudson Valley. Hopefully he'll play closer to home, too. Here's a link for more info:

Secret Music Playlist, April 14, 2013

Hi -

  Here's my playlist for Sunday, April 14, 2013. No show last week, as I
had to work. On today's show, I played several pieces featuring Gianluigi Gasparetti, aka
Oophoi, who passed away earlier this week. A great talent gone too soon.

Secret Music News, March 2013

Hi -

  My name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a
New Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 25
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.    

  I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
 something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states. I
usually prefer high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if
necessary. Just send me an email for more info. At least half of what I
play these days comes to me through downloads. Thanks.               

  Not much new and exciting on the music front in this area. Hopefully
spring will be here soon and I can go out and work on my photography. I'm always interested in
any relevant local concert info. If you're performing in the area, or know
someone who is, let me know so I can tell my listeners. And I'm looking to
book some live interviews/performances on Secret Music, too. If you're in
the area on a Sunday morning and want to stop by and talk and/or play,
email me and let me know.

  There's a new service out called DAR.fm. which allows you to record
 radio shows (like mine). The website has more info. but it's basically a free service much
like a Tivo, which allows you to select and record radio shows for future
listening. Finally something for those of you who aren't around to listen
in on a Sunday morning.                 

  For more info or weekly playlists, check out my website below. I'm also
on Facebook, so look for me there too. Here's my top 20 playlist for February, 2013.
Enjoy!
