TH-TH-TH-TH-THAT'S ALL FOLKS

By my best estimate, I started Radio Free Oregon six years and a couple of months ago. It's been a wild ride through one of the richest periods in "alternative/indie/modern" music ever. Thanks for sharing it with me ...

You can still hear me on the air over at KWVA 88.1 FM on Sundays from 8-10 pm, doing Latent 80s. I do mix shows over there too, from time to time. Follow the links at lower right to find out more about my live shows around town. And KRVM most likely hasn't seen the last of me either ... stay tuned.

RADIO FREE OREGON WILL BE SIGNING OFF FOR GOOD

Hey folks -

Because of some new opportunities opening up at KRVM and in some of my other endeavors (some of them not even related to music, believe it or not), I will be stepping down as host of Radio Free Oregon.

My last show on Tuesday night will be March 9, 2010.

If you loved (or even mildly liked) the music you've heard on Radio Free Oregon over the last five-plus years, have no fear — I will be helping behind the scenes as KRVM launches a new HD-only radio station, KRVM2. That station will feature many of the artists and songs you've come to know and love on RFO, but 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When will this station go online? Soon ... not in the next month or two, but soon.

Please stay tuned.
