Black Sweater, White Cat: The 2005, East Coast Version Debuts Saturday Night

Saturday night from 9 til Midnight---Black Sweater, White Cat debuts on WBCR-LP, 97.7, Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Hi, I'm Biotic and host. Black Sweater is a radio program/concept that I have been pursuing in different venues for almost 20 years. This is the first time I've had the pleasure of bringing it to the East. The program was born at a little station known as KUGS in Bellingham, Washington.

The East coast version is launching with a focus on geographical diversity (music from six continents) and musical diversity (a little treble, bass, and drums). Look for music from Bulgaria, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, Western Europe and North America...Folk music--all of it. After all, folk music is music made by folks, right???

Each program will have featured artists. Look to your right for links to more information on this week's artists.

Thanks for listening, bye.
