January 24, 2025: Music and Mutual Aid

We're bringing in the bands today. Two of em. Count em two. 

Westfield native Madison Curbelo joins us for Live music Friday. The sweet voiced singer songwriter is fresh off of her semi-finalist status on The Voice and fleshing out her sound beyond her red six string. We’ll hear the inspiration for the music she plays, and the lessons TV taught her before you can catch her set at the Drake Tomorrow night. 

 And a double Live Music Friday brings the punk aesthetic of Les Derailleurs into the studio. Frontman Joe Pater joins us ahead of the band’s show at the Rendezvous in Turners Falls tonight, and we’ll hear how this particular week is actually tied to the group’s founding. 

Plus author Megan Tady hits the slopes for a cause bringing her ski focused novel Bluebird day, to an Apres SKi Party at Berkshire East, and we’ll get to learn how a chance encounter on our very show inspired the event, and the many ways that your time on the powder can help your neighbors survive the next snowfalls and plummeting temperatures in Charlemont on Saturday.
