Local Spins on WYCE is a 1-hour exploration of the best music from the Grand Rapids area and West Michigan. The program often debuts new songs by seasoned artists as well as emerging acts who merit attention and broader exposure.

The show is hosted by John "SINK-uh-vitch" from LocalSpins.com, the website covering West Michigan's music scene. Each week, John invites local artists into the studio for live music and conversation.

Tune in for "Local Spins on WYCE" every Friday at 11am. And browse every archived episode online at WYCE dot org

Support for WYCE comes from The Pyramid Scheme, a pub and music venue in the Heartside neighborhood. 

Tomorrow, Sunday, April 2, Pyramid Scheme welcomes the legendary Jonathan Richman.

Jonathan Richman has been writing music, recording and touring for most of his life, gathering the loyalty of fans and fellow artists with his warmth, humor and insightful lyrics. In the early '70s he formed The Modern Lovers, signalling the rise of punk music. Tommy Larkins was in the groups Naked Prey, Giant Sand and other popular bands of Tucson, Arizona. Jonathan and Tommy continue to record, write music together and tour across the US. 

Ages "18 plus" welcome.
