Juke in the Back

WRFA Radio — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 13:55:51 +0000

Matt The Cat presents the soul that came before rock n’ roll: 1950s rhythm and blues. Each week, this underrated and rollicking music plays on that old Rockola Jukebox in the back.

If you wanted to hear rhythm & blues during the 1950s, you couldn’t get it from the juke box in the front. No, no! In order to hear that glorious, down and dirty R&B, you had to go to the low-lit, spit-shined “Juke In The Back.” These songs are the building blocks of rock n’ roll. These are the records that inspired Elvis and single-handedly led to the rock n’ roll explosion of the mid-1950s. Big Joe Turner, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Ruth Brown, Ray Charles, Wynonie Harris, LaVern Baker, Roy Brown, Joe Liggins, Professor Longhair and many more take center stage on The Juke In The Back. Matt The Cat hosted a similar program on XM Satellite Radio called “Harlem” and now he brings this great music and information back to radio.

Arts on Fire LIVE: Ken and Mandy

WRFA Radio — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 18:20:49 +0000

WRFA will present a series of live musical performances on select Saturday Nights this fall with the return of Arts on Fire LIVE.

On Saturday night, Oct. 2, WRFA will welcome Ken & Mandy to the Reg Lenna Multimedia Studios for a special live broadcast performance.

Ken Hardley and Mandy Andrews are a unique musical duo, to say the least. As a singer- songwriter, Hardley’s presence as an entertainer, storyteller, and musician will draw you in as few performers can. Long-time WRFA listeners know Ken for being the host and driving force of the popular Rolling Hills Radio and Woodsongs Coffeehouse Radio Hour programs that were broadcast on WRFA. As a classically trained cellist, Andrews brings an unusual, spellbinding atmosphere to Hardley’s music. She provides compelling counter- melodies, delicate textures, as well as beauty that skates and weaves. There’s no description that fully captures the ambiance this pair creates. You have to experience it to understand it.

The performance will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. on 107.9 FM and also video streamed live on the WRFA Youtube Channel and Facebook page.
