Music news, interviews, features and giveaways
Yep, you read it right! WKNC will have the great pleasure of premiering two brand new songs by local favorites Lonnie Walker and Future Islands from their split 7" coming out this November. We are the very first ones to have the tracks, so you’ll just have to tune in to the Local Lunch this Wednesday to hear them (and trust me, they rock).
The one and only DJ Ray will be unlocking the treasure chest of two brand new singles to rock you through the next week and a half until we get to see both bands live at Hopscotch! Are you as excited as I am?!??
This week, we’re giving away lots of artist schwag, including vinyls, t-shirts, and even CDs.
We are also giving away tickets to Jim Avett at the Pour House on August 29.
