With 88.7 FM now so provocatively occupied, this region finds itself with an array of quality FM radio down in what always has been known as the public broadcasting ghetto, the far left on the dial. WCNI, broadcasting at Connecticut College, is at 90.9; WHUS, from the University of Connecticut, is at 91.7; and WRIU, from the University of Rhode Island, is at 90.3. They all have their moments, but none of them cruises the world of music, culture, Free Speech Radio News and whatever the hell else moves them, quite like WPKN.Technorati tags: WPKN, WPKM, Bridgeport, New London, radio, Montauk
Twice a year we need to come to you to ask for your support of our programming, and this week we begin what could be a month long effort. But YOU can make the fundraising shorter (and sweeter?) by going online right now and making your donation to WPKN/WPKM to support our independent brand of smart, thoughtful and entertaining radio -- our unique musical perspectives, our literary bent, our news and cultural reporting, our live broadcast concerts and informative interviews, all produced by volunteers who love and believe in what they do. It can only be done with your generosity, so please become a supporter of independent, non-conformist, community radio by making a donation RIGHT NOW at http://www.wpkn.org/pledge.
Thank you from your friends,
The volunteers of WPKN, Bridgeport and WPKM, Montauk.

Central Asian folk music and throat singing with the ensemble ALASH from Tuva at The Enchanted Garden Conservatory of the Arts in Ridgefield, CT--and broadcast live on WPKN and WPKM Radio.
The ALASH ensemble is made up of recent graduates of the Kyzyl Arts College, in the basement of which they formed the ensemble from their first years. Beginning as 'Changy-Haya' they are among the first of the post-Soviet generation to display brilliance in Tuvan traditional music enhanced by subtle and knowing acquaintance with the precepts of western music. The result is thoroughly mesmerizing. The Alash ensemble has gone on to win numerous awards in festivals and competitions throughout Russia, Central Asia, and Eastern and Western Europe. In addition, all of the members of Alash work in the Tuvan National Orchestra, an experimental traditional music orchestra under the direction of Ayana Mongush and management of Radik Tiulush.
Artistic Director Kongar-ool Ondar is well known in the US, being featured in the film Genghis Blues and having performed in the Rose Parade in California multiple times, is a former member of Tuvan parliament and is an honored artist of the Russian Federation, and people's "Khoomeizhi" of the Republic of Tuva. Kongar-ool's tireless passion for music has brought the sounds of Tuva to the ears of many westerners; however more importantly he is the leading champion for traditional music within Tuva itself. Two of his students, Ayan-ool and Bady-Dorzhu, are in the ensemble Alash.
The Enchanted Garden Conservatory of the Arts is located at 529 Ethan Allen Hwy (Route 7) , Ridgefield CT. Call (203) 894-1987 for information and reservations

Wednesday, March 15th, 8 p.m.
Live from... Where?, WPKN radio's monthly live concert broadcast series presents Le Nozze di Carlo -- a New York-based quartet that performs ethnic and pseudo-ethnic music.
Gene Caprioglio: guitar & voice
Joel Darelius: bass & voice
Paule Diamond: soprano saxophone & voice
Bob Goldberg: accordion & voice
Le Nozze first got together with a handful of folk tunes, to play at a friend's wedding. Since then, they have developed a repertoire that includes traditional and modern Italian folk and pop tunes, Irish and pseudo-Irish ballads, polkas, sea chanteys, jazz odysseys, mini-operas, and the occasional game of croquet. A typical set might include tunes by Paolo Conte, Edith Piaf, Bob Marley, The Rascals (another great Italian band!), or Nino Rota, as well as originals.
The group recently released its first CD "Le Nozze di Carlo", which features many favorites from the band''s storied history, ranging from traditional Italian songs like "Bella Ciao" and "Funiculi Funicula", to modern classics such as "Volare", "Quando Quando Quando", and "La Vie En Rose" to the mini-opera "Vino" and the cinematic "Hunger Suite".
Everyone is invited to attend. We ask for a goodwill donation in any amount, and no one will be turned away unless the house is full. We request that reservations be made in advance by calling WPKN during regular business hours at 203 331 9756. Only 30 seats are available for the show, so it is essential to make reservations early.

Read it all. Technorati tags: WPKN, WPKM, Bridgeport, New London, radio, MontaukThe show, which takes place at the Hygienic Gallery on Bank Street and features Finest Kind, Bruce McDermott, the Paul Brockett Road Show; and Big Easy Rhythm, will be broadcast using some laptop technology and a line from the soundboard, and it should be a cool thing to check out if you're in downtown or near a radio that can be tuned to 88.7 FM.
Saturday, March 4, 7 p.m.
WPKM New London Launch Party
Hygienic Art Gallery, 83 Bank Street, New London, CT.
To celebrate our new friendships in eastern CT and Long Island, WPKN/M is throwing a party at Hygienic Art in New London, CT, with music from Big Easy Rhythm, Bruce McDermott, The Paul Brockett Show and Finest Kind. The festivities will be broadcast live, so tune in or, better yet, come down to Bank Street in New London and join us in person for some live music, good food and hygienic hi-jinks. There is no admission charge, we just want to meet you!
Finest Kind is an accordion, banjo and tuba trio who specialize in sea-songs, with the tradition of bawdy ballads and drinking songs. Bruce McDermott is a songwriter and singer living and working in Mystic. His musical style is eclectic, and includes blues, and ballads, sometimes dealing with the "Big Questions". His CD “Baghdad Highway” was released in 2005. Paul Brockett, the self-styled “Million Dollar Gentleman,” is a New London singer who performs a unique country-flavored show. John Russell's Big Easy Rhythm interprets classic jazz, blues and swing with, "an earthy excitement reminiscent of what could have been heard steaming from a turn of the Century Crescent City dance hall or a 1950's Greenwich Village jazz club...and much of what came in between!"
A note to the dedicated fans of Andy Bologovsky's show: Andy is taking one for the team to make this broadcast possible, but he will be back the first Sunday in April.
