Local 518 compilation CD

Wow! Matt from Collar City Records dropped by with the nearly completed music disc featuring some of the great Local 518 artists we play on Exit 97.7, WEXT.

It will feature the Kamikaze Hearts, Scientific Maps, Sean Rowe, Charlie Everywhere, and many others. We'll begin offering it as our way of saying thanks for supporting the music either by phone at 1.888.622.0977, or online at exit977.org.

Love that we play local music on the local station? Cool! Don't forget to support it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, are you ready to support the music? As a listener-supported station, we need to garner enough financial contributions from listeners to make a go of it. It's great to have a station that plays truly alternative music, and we love being able to present the real cool music and all the Local 518 artists as well. Thanks for considering a contribution of support to Exit 97.7. Our December campaign will be our first full bore attempt to raise as much as we can raise.

We'll be offering a new compilation of Local 518 artists, which will include many songs you cannot get anywhere else. Matt from Kamikaze Hearts/Collar City Records is helping to put it together. We sincerely appreciate his and his partners help on this project. It has been invaluable! Plus, know that they all work super extra hard to foster a great local music scene. Know also that every single artist who is appearing on the CD is helping Exit 97.7 do this ambitious project.

We cannot run our radio station without community support. We are so proud to be here, and are so fortunate to be able to play the music of these often overlooked musicians!

Thank you for reading the whole post. We promise to post the bands soon! We will be taking pre-orders for the compilation soon! We hope to begin playing tracks from the CD in our regular programming in the not too distant future!

11/16 & 18 on Local 518 (and next week too!)

Hey there! We've got a lot brewing at 97.7 EXT! Sorry! So, this weekend we have Jim Gaudet's new CD and a very cool interview with him on the show. Plus, Saratoga's Mike Grutka came on by. He's in NYC doing some shows now, but he swung by to give us a performance of some cool tunes. Don't miss the show 11/16 at 7p or 11/18 at 11a.

Then - next week! Oh my! Wait til you hear 'em! It's members of Palatypus who came in to perform with Dave Michaels. They'll be on the 11/23 and 25 show! Cool stuff!

Rock on you Local 518 artists!
