Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard
07.16.23

Signals coming from somewhere beyond. It’s time for Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard. This month, resident DJ Chad DePasquale opens up with New Happy Gathering, an hour of atmospheric samba, dusty psych-folk, and sinewy funk. Next, Jason P. Woodbury’s Range and Basin dedicates a whole show to Bill Frisell’s incredible “Egg Radio,” spanning live takes, covers, studio work and beyond. Then, Doom and Gloom from the Tomb with Tyler Wilcox shares an hour’s worth of bittersweet 2023 sounds. And to close, musician and writer Jeffrey Silverstein invites you to join him for an hour of slinky country and big sky sounds.
