MikeontheMic

"Mike brings his personality into the music he plays, he will chat with you between sets and then you hear the story he is telling in the tunes he picks out. He takes you on a ride and it is not easy to park the car and get out. I learn something every time I listen to his show." Quinn Mathews, Former WYCE Station Manager "MikeontheMic is an advocate of everything WYCE, because he loves music with a passion. I expect to hear bubbling bass lines, soulful guitar, rocking drums, and powerful voices. In short though....what Mike brings to the listeners of WYCE is TRANSCENDENCE." AJ Paschka, Former WYCE Station Manager "When Mike's on the Mic, the music will be just a bit off center. He finds a way to lead you just beyond your range in an accessible manner. Obviously dedicated to the format and Community Radio." Lee, WYCE Volunteer Programmer "The World would be a better place if everyone was dancing. Also Playing Radio is great fun!" MikeontheMic, WYCE Volunteer Programmer

SCMC - Joey Alexander (click for more info)

St. Cecilia Music Center is pleased to present jazz piano prodigy Joey Alexander TOMORROW NIGHT as part of the 2017 jazz series.


At twelve years old, Joey Alexander has been nominated for three Grammy Awards; featured on the CBS Show "60 Minutes"; and has performed at the White House, the Grammy awards show, Lincoln Center, and at jazz festivals around the globe. 

Born in Bali, Joey first encountered a piano at the age of six, and was immediately able to pick out by ear the melody of jazz standards from his father's record collection. Learning by listening, Joey was playing jazz festivals by the age of eight. His early influences include Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis, who calls Joey "the real deal." 

The young prodigy with the soul of an old jazz musician performs at St. Cecilia Music Center tomorrow at 7:30pm.
