Posted on by Joe Salzone

The 2018 Christmas Special is going to be better than ever!

Each year we welcome in some wonderful local musicians to share their talents at Christmas.  This year we’re lucky to have an amazing lineup.  Here’s who will be visiting us between 10 and Noon on Christmas Eve (in no particular order):

Nick Stark from Small Town Shade

Lonnie Park

Tink Bennett from Tailor Made

Q Country’s Double D

Greg McQuade

Billy Golicki

The Burns Sisters

Mike Allinger

And the piano MAGIC of Ed Clute!

Add to that some of the traditions that we’ve presented on the show for years!

I can’t wait to share this great tradition with you again Monday morning at 10AM.
