Eagle Air Local Music Spotlight

09/01/2023

The good news is that Winthrop's radio station is getting a new computer to handle the streaming out! The bad news is that this is still being setup. So we have to cancel the show again today. We'll reschedule Jason from this week and Joe from last week ASAP and let everyone know. Go see some love music!

Unfortunately, the Winthrop radio station is experiencing some technical problems. So there won't be a Local Music Spotlight today. We'll air out discussion with Joe Miller another day. We expect to be back up next week and look forward to having Jason Poore on the show!

Campus is coming alive again for Fall! Eagle Air Local Music Spotlight will start up again on Friday, August 25. We're already starting to line up guests.
