Hold on to your seat!  Local 518 bluegrass stalwarts Dyer Switch Band (JoAnn Sifo, Bob Bates, Chris Schultz and Bruce Barker) just dropped by our studio to play some high-octane songs and talk about a forthcoming album, "Original"; the follow-up to 2015's In The Spotlight of The Moon.

BAILEN is performing tonight at the Hangar on the Hudson in Troy. Don't miss this amazing trio of musicians, born to make music together. Quite literally! Twin brothers David & Daniel with their sister Julia were raised by their classical musician parents who got them into music at a young age.

It is with a sad and heavy heart that we have today, this Local 518 Thursday.  Last night, we learned of the passing of a dear friend of WEXT.  So much can be said of Greg Haymes. He was a great guy. He was a journalist, a critic, a musician - and was great at all of that. But he was so much more.  And to us, he was a very special individual.

Melanie Krahmer & Rich Libutti of SIRSY have been traveling around the country, winning over fans and melting hearts with their sassy brand of rock & soul for more than two decades; pouring their hearts and souls into every show, every recording, every song and every note!

Local 518 songwriter, band leader, and activist Taina Asili has received national acclaim for her music; most recently for her single No Es Mi Presidente released in 2017. Now she is back with a full length album Resiliencia where she has taken herself out of the spotlight. This time around instead of writing soley from her own experiences she took this album as a tool for others to speak their truths and stories.
