All Vermont Music - Gene Cassidy

Gene Cassidy hosts All Vermont Music on Tuesday mornings and it’s not really all Vermont music. The word ‘eclectic’ has been used, which means, ‘for God’s sake buddy, pick a lane.’ He hopes you’ll join him and call the studio at 802-763-2700 any Tuesday morning from 7-11 with your choice of Vermont music. It does not have to be from Vermont. Gene is a former newspaper editor, home builder, trade representative to Granada, cab driver and a current grocery co-op soup-can stacker. One of those things isn’t true but he really was a cab driver. He sometimes talks about himself in the third person. Not really.

Green Mountain Global - Jamie Gage

Jamie Gage is the creator and host of Green Mountain Global, a two-hour show featuring Vermont musicians and social protest music from America and abroad, since 2013. A poet, songwriter, and father of three, Jamie has served in his day job in a variety of careers in management and marketing, web services, tourism and the arts, and most recently in health and home care. His hope is to connect his playlists, and his own poems and songs, with listeners interested in confronting today’s common problems with a sense of tenacity and resolve.

Greetings from... - Shelby Kalm

Every show we travel to a different location and play music created in and inspired by that destination.

Hannah Handy and Me - John Scott Duffy

John Scott Duffy has been listening to music for many years. He says “AM radio was big in my early years. I missed being able to stack shellac-made 33 RPMs on my record player, but did have these playlists playing on ones made of vinyl. There were 45s, LPs, 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs. I draw from these memories many musical genres- so; anything can happen on Hannah Handy and Me”. Occasionally there is a segment entitled: I See Dead People. On this those in the ethereal world are interviewed in order to add a sense of history for the listeners.

In addition, I share the responsibility of keeping the Blues Train on track. As in the real world there are two people responsible for this, Blues Brother Todd Tyson and myself. Two are required, an engineer and a conductor; the former is responsible for operating the locomotive, while the latter plays a supervisory role over the entire operation. I get to wear an engineer’s cap on alternating Tuesdays!

How Sweet It Is: A Night of Jerry Garcia - Ross McGee

I'm excited to be back at Royalton Community Radio with a new show for 2020. "How Sweet It Is: A Night of Jerry Garcia" will be focused around the music of Jerry Garcia - mainly focusing on Jerry's side gigs such as the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and In The Way, Jerry and David Grisman and Jerry and John Kahn. I'll also throw in some Grateful Dead stuff every once in a while, but I really want this show to focus on all the other musical endeavors that Jerry dipped his toes into..

In Between Dreams - Sara Yetter

In My Bones - Rebecca Beguin 

In My Bones explores African music both plugged and unplugged, classic post-colonial to contemporary with commentary on the motifs and traditions within the music. All regions are explored and over the years I have pushed further to what I can find, thanks to a world network of producers and labels bringing out this music. Listen to the wide variety of drumming and percussive keyboard as well as African guitar calibrated and often self-built to regional musical scales and to replicate traditional stringed instruments as well as balofon and mbira.

West African music has been the most accessible to us here in the states as it has Europe’s ear, while music from southern Africa takes more searching out. This interest has grown out of my connection to South Africa, having grown up in the lowveld south of the Limpopo River, and music from that region is particularly resonant for me.

Made in America - Matt Adams

Monday Morning Mix - Paul Kifner

Recorded from the Porcupine Ranch!

Northern Lights - Kris Ekstrand

Music has been a life-long passion of mine. I grew up listening to all kinds of music from jazz, classical, and traditional music from all over the world. That left me with an eclectic and some have said eccentric taste in, and collection of music. My interest in the obscure and off-beat is satisfied most often in old record bins at junk shops and yard sales. Sharing these odd finds brings me a tremendous amount of pleasure.

Northern Lights is an heretofore un-curated compilation of music from the Northern Latitudes that comes glimmering, undulating and shuddering onto the airwaves each Sunday. Though most of the music played is of a traditional nature, the unexpected can only be expected. Will there be French Canadian, yodeling cowboy music from the 1940's, local Vermont songs about Lumber Jacks, pensive tunes from the Faroe Islands, Norwegian dance tunes or old-time rollerskating music? Your curiosity will only be assuaged by tuning in each week.

One Guitar - Peter Neri

Peter began playing the electric guitar as a teenager in Connecticut rock groups that opened for some nationally known acts (The Lovin’ Spoonful, Dave Clark 5, to name a couple - yeah, he’s THAT old). When his bands broke up, Peter moved West and performed as a solo folk/blues performer in California and Montana. Returning East, he moved to the Upper Valley of Vermont and entered the corporate world in order to support his family, but still found time to play music both in a local band (Still More Cats) and as a solo guitarist.

“One Guitar” was conceived in 2015 on WFVR and could be the longest continually running radio broadcast of its kind anywhere, airing ONLY solo guitar instrumentalists (with no accompaniment), representing multiple musical genres - Folk, Classical, Americana, Jazz, Slack Key, New Age, Latin and the indescribable genres, all get their turn on One Guitar.

One Planet Groove - Tim Murphy 

Tim Murphy behind the mic for "One Planet Groove" on RCR I live in downtown SoRo with my wife Rhonda and rescue shih tzu "Lass", father of three, member of the "Snakes of Ireland", current Royalton Selectboard member, Construction Trades & Management teacher at Randolph Technical Career Center + younger brother of the "Reverend Allagash Bill". My goal is to create interesting musical menu's for my show and when I can find time hike, bike and paddle the length of Vermont.

I hold down my corner of RCR with "One Planet Groove" Sunday mornings from 8 - 10 am on Royalton Community Radio. "OPG" is an eclectic mix of genre's from 'round the planet. Celtic, Folk, Groove, Soul, Roots, Rock and Reggae. We feature one song each week for the entire year, this year being the great John Hartford tune "Gentle On My Mind" past featured tunes include "Girl from the North Country", "Norwegian Wood","I Shall Be Released", Over the Rainbow" and "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness". I've been part of the RCR lineup since the early daze and still think it's the best job ever! Royalton Community Radio is a wonderful community of folks here in Central Vt. Big thanks to all our generous underwriters.
