Jamestown was getting too small. It was time to conquer the next music scene.

We’re back with Part 3 of the incredible audio documentary Can’t Ignore the Train, produced by @emilyadrew and Aaron Perez with @wrfalp in Jamestown, NY!

By November 1982, being the best band in their hometown wasn’t enough anymore. With the promise of a recording contract and fresh territory ahead, 10,000 Maniacs packed up and embarked on a whole new adventure.

It’s been a couple of weeks since the last new episode but we have a 20 song episode 20 all ready for this evening. I realize having a tiny one hour window once a week is somewhat futile in finding an audience. Especially in this instant gratification world we’ve all succumbed to in one way or another. So with that to consider I’m working on a remedy to alleviate that. More to come on that in the future but until then there is tonight at 6pm!! Locally on 107.9 or online from anywhere. Let me know who’s listening.

Last week, we had the great pleasure of welcoming Jay Moran from @btpmpbs to the @sukanyaburmandance office for a conversation about JDF 2026

We’re incredibly grateful for public media and programs like @btpmpbs which make room for thoughtful conversations about the people, ideas, art, and communities shaping Western New York.

Public media matters because not every important story is commercially profitable. Some stories are worth telling simply because they help us understand where we live and who we share it with.

And that is very closely connected to why public investment in the arts matters, too.

When we fund public media and the arts, we invest in cultural infrastructure. We create opportunities where people can encounter new ideas, hear voices beyond their own circles, gather together, ask questions, and feel connected to a larger community. That is especially important in places outside major cultural centers, where access to arts and independent public-interest media cannot be taken for granted.

So yes, fund public media. Support your local and regional public radio @wrfalp and @btpmpbs
Support artists. Support the arts organizations doing the sometimes-invisible work of making culture accessible. Our communities are richer, more curious, and more connected because they exist. ❤️

Stay tuned for our conversation with Jay on Buffalo Toronto Public Media! 📻

And speaking of @jamestowndancefestival

If you’re still trying to decide which day of the festival you should attend, we’ve done the research and reached a highly scientific conclusion:

All of them.

Wednesday? Yes.
Thursday? Obviously.
Friday? You’d better.
Saturday? Absolutely.
Sunday? You’ve come this far.

Five days. Choose your own adventure. We support that decision. 😂

Most people hear the music...but they dont know the story behind it. Here's the moment I opened up about how I started rapping during my interview on 107.9 WRFA.
