WSLR Celebrates with The Mayhaws & Radio Free Carmela

With their roots in folk and country music and their hearts in the honky-tonk, The Mayhaws do rockabilly Stooges, samba Patsy Cline, and a wealth of originals that saunter and swing. They will be performing on Saturday, April 19^th at The Bungalow, 301 S. Pineapple Avenue in Sarasota. The show will be a WSLR 96.5 Post-Fund Drive Celebration and everyone is invited to attend. Popular local band Radio Free Carmela and the Transmitters will open the show at 7pm. There is no cover.

Like their namesakes, The Mayhaws are sweet and thorny, playing music rooted in American and American-immigrant traditions. Each member brings to the enterprise a wealth of musical experience, their combined talents resulting in a piquant mix of folk, honky-tonk, soul, bluegrass and old-school country. A Mayhaws set can run the gamut from traditional hill music to delta blues to pop songs re-imagined as jug tunes.

WSLR-LP 96.5, Sarasota’s Community Radio station, fell just short of reaching their Spring fundraising goal of $25,000. If you would still like to contribute, you can do so be visiting the website www.wslr.org and clicking on the Pledge Now button.

Thanks. Hope to see you at the show.
