In addition to the nine live sets I engineered for my “opening ceremonies” program during the 2009 WPRB Membership Drive, there were a bunch of performances I recorded for other fine WPRB shows.
Since I’m not on the air this week (a basketball game will preempt my program), I’ve archived these miscellaneous sessions for your enjoyment.

At long last, all the sets from the opening ceremonies of the 2009 WPRB Membership Drive. Nine great performances. Thanks to all the bands for making this evening so awesome and thanks to Emily’s Cafe for all the delicious food. Special thanks to Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey from Miner Street for their help engineering the Danielson session.

For the third straight year, Jennifer will be taking the train down to WPRB on Wednesday, October 7th to play live on-air during the 2009 WPRB Membership Drive. My five hour “opening ceremonies” show will air from 7:00 pm ET – 12:00 am ET.
Like in 2008 and 2007, she would be happy to try and play a slew of covers in exchange for listener pledges during this special program.
However, Jennifer needs some advance warning to try and learn these songs!
So…
If you pledge $103.30 at pledge.wprb.com, you’ll not only get some great WPRB premiums, but you also can ask Jennifer to play a song for you. Make sure you contact me about what cover you would like to hear.
Jennifer will be joined in studio by Obits, Screaming Females, The Spinto Band and Danielson among others.
