Remember the person above these words? Her name is Jennifer O’Connor and she is both an ace lady and a top-notch Matador recording artist. Her new album is called “Here With Me” and it gets my full approval. Buy it.

Jennifer will be making her third visit to WPRB on Wednesday, October 1st to play live on-air during the 2008 WPRB Membership Drive. My five hour “opening ceremonies” show will air from 7:00 pm ET – 12:00 am ET.

Like last year, 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 a WPRB shirt and your choice of tote bag or hoodie, 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 Oxford Collapse and Brown Recluse Sings, among others.

Additionally, anyone in the NJ/PA/NY area who makes a pledge of any denomination is eligible to win a 2008 Toyota Yaris (!!!!!), our big prize for supporting WPRB this year, courtesy of Free Yr Radio.

Yrs,

Jon Solomon
