Let’s Get Folked Up!

“Let’s Get Folked Up!” is a weekly two hour radio program run by Thomas Clancy that airs Thursday nights from 8pm to 10pm on Keene State College’s WKNH, broadcasting at 91.3 FM, and streaming live at www.wknh.org. The show aims to act primarily as an over-the-air venue for independent musicians nation-wide; a two hour opportunity to perform their music and share their ideas. If you are an independent musician, singer-songwriter or band of any kind and interested in being featured on the program here in Keene, NH, please contact me either via MySpace (/letsgetfolkedup) or e-mail (music1@wknh.org) and we’ll set it up. If you are a record label, all promotional materials can be sent to: Thomas Clancy / Music Director- WKNH / 229 Main St / Keene, NH 03435. If you are not so musically inclined, you’re in good company (neither am I), but you can subscribe to a podcast of the program by searching iTunes for Let’s Get Folked Up!

Paddy Reagan is singer-songwriter from Burlington, VT in the style of Townes Van-Zandt, John Prine, and the like. He normally plays with the group Paper Castles, which merges traditional folk and country music with noisy yet beautiful free-form jazz. On the program he shares with us some of his influences, and follows it up with an excellent solo-acoustic live set. This was the first segment of our four-hour program on April 16, 2009, which promoted the outdoor concert, “Spring It On!” that we put on in association with WKNH and The Starving Artist at 10 West Street, Keene on Keene State College campus the following evening featuring Jerry Fels and the Jerry Fels, Mark Mandeville (with Raianne Richards and Jerry Fels), Christopher Bell, Paper Castles, and Rusty Belle.
