Welcome to Suga in My Bowl radio‘s weekly feature, On The Bandstand, where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests. We’re online weekly and on the air on NYC’s WBAI-FM radio alternate Sunday nights from 11 PM -1 AM. Keep up with us via Facebook, the blog here, or our main website, or Twitter and we’ll keep track of the schedule for you.
We’ve been pre-empted this week for WBAI’s summer fund drive, but if you missed our last show with saxophonist and flutist T.K. Blue, head over to our archives where you can hear that and 7 years of archived shows. Those of you following the news have likely heard of the station’s woes with the transmitter at the Empire State Building. If not, the summary is that the station’s in deep debt for seriously escalating rent. Anything you can pledge is needed now more than ever. And we have other listings for you this week.
