Secret Music News, May 2012

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 24 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 on the lookout for new and interesting
music to play on my show. If you have something you think I'd be
interested in, feel free to send it to the address below or email me for
more info. If you're a local musician or just passing through the
beautiful Hudson Valley region and you'd like to stop by for a live
interview and/or performace, drop me a line and we'll work something out.
Also, if you'd like to send me downloads of your releases in lieu of
actual CD's, that's fine with me, too. Just send me an email and let me
know. Thanks.         

  On Sunday, May 6, I'm pleased to welcome Broekhuis, Keller and
Schonwalder from Germany to the studio for an interview and live performance. They'll be
performing that night in NYC as part of the One Thousand Pulses concert
series. Also in early May, the Candy Rat Guitar Night tour will be coming
around to the eastern US once again, with concerts in Collinsville, CT and
New York City. Again, a bit of a drive to either show, but well worth it.

  I'm celebrating the 25th anniversary of Secret Music in June of this
year. If you have any interesting ideas for that, please 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 April 2012. Enjoy!

I've got a couple of upcoming events to tell you about. First, Wave
World will be touring the eastern US later in April, with concert dates in Philadelphia and Nazareth, PA. Either venue is a long drive for Secret Music fans, but well worth the trip. And on Sunday, May 6, I welcome Broekhuis, Keller and
Schonwalder from Germany to the studio for an interview and live
performance. Also in early May, the Candy Rat Guitar Night tour will be
coming around to the eastern US once again, with concerts in Collinsville,

Upcoming Concerts, Spring 2012 Part 2

Hi -

Here's a couple of more local shows that might be of interest to Secret Music fans. The music of both is a bit outside my normal fare, but they both feature musicians that have been played on my show before. I think my listeners would enjoy the shows.

The first is Frenchy and the Punk, a duo comprised of Scott Helland on guitar and Samantha Stevenson on vocals. It's sort of medieval/pagan folk music. They used to be the Gypsy Nomads, but changed their name. Scott Helland has been on my show before when he was a solo guitarist. They live in the Hudson Valley, too. They'll be at Market Market Cafe in Rosendale, NY on Friday, April 13. Check out their website for more info.

The second is Stick Men, a progressive rock group featuring the Hudson Valley's own Tony Levin and Markus Reuter from Germany. Both have had various solo projects that have been played on my show before. They'll be playing at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY on Sunday, April 29. Check out Tony's website for more info.
