As many of you have noticed, there’s been a revamping of music on our mixed format internet radio station. Thanks for supporting such a great variety! This week we’ve added a few more tracks as we try to keep up with as much as humanly possible to play in such a short time! Here’s a quick idea of some artists with new tracksĀ that got added today: Alexis Jordan, Ariana Grande, Uncle Kracker, Usher, 2AM Club, Awolnation and Don Omar. We’ve also tossed in some more throwback tracks of our favorite artists: INXS & Wild Cherry! Play That Funky Music…. heeeeyyyyy!
Go ahead, tune on in and enjoy some music! It’ll be the largest variety you’re gonna find on one station.

Peter of the Patrones rocks out for the Newtown Memorial Fund
December 14th, 2012 will remain in the memories of many for the people of Newtown. In the shadow of tragedy, a looming fiscal cliff and the constant hard economic times it is truly amazing how we come together as Americans and human beings to support each other in times of need.
Peter Bova and several others got together to use thier talents as they know best to put together several of Connecticut’s best local bands to throw a concert to raise money for the Newtown Memorial Fund, LLC. The Newtown Memorial Fund’s goals are to help both short and long term the victim’s needs related to the Sandy Hook Elemetary School’s incident.
Here’s a lineup of the bands and artists that performed: Stephen Gonza, Brother Earl, Sick Since Sunday, Good Head, Total Hacks, Bad Rooster, the Patrones, Turbulence (with special guest Kelsey M) and High Octane.
Over $10,000 were raised by night’s end which included a $100 bonus fundraiser to have Peter Patrone ride the mechanical bull.
Special thanks to C&L Couture Creations for supplying the bottle cap & domino necklaces and Illusions & staff for their services!

With Lynne Flanders back at the helm as President of the New Enlgand Western Dance Association it appears as though the club is going to head in a “NEW” direction. A few orders of business have taken place behind the scenes although no events have been held since a meeting held on October 6th. At the meeting it came to a split 50/50 vote to dissolve the club in its current state. With that happening, several offices were left open. As of Sunday 12/2/12, Aric Lemieux was appionted Vice President and Alan Kohn as Secretary. With a newly diverse group of professionals and enthusiasts on the board it is a pretty safe bet that there will be a major overhaul on a club needing a jolt of electroshock therapy. Ideas behind the scenes have been exciting to the new board members that bring the club back to an organization that may be classified as desirable to be included in not only by current members but by people wishing to be. More specific details are anticipated to be released as they become closer to finalized.
For more information on the New England Western Dance Association you can visit the website www.newdact.com and “like” them on their Facebook page.
