The Poet

Respecting the classics while sharing the odd and unexpected musical gift. If the music you love doesn't occasionally move you to tears, do you really love it? I play what I love and spin lots of new artists and albums. I'm currently grooving on the Crane Wives, Bartees Strange, Vijay Iyer, Terence Blanchard, Arlo Parks, and the Glass Animals. I would describe my setlists as a slow simmer, punctuated by the odd apoplectic shift. Lend me your ears.

WYCE Year-End Fund Drive (click for more info)

The music you hear every day on WYCE has a different feel when chosen by curious, knowledgeable hosts instead of an algorithm or computer. 

Only real people can make connections that engage your mind and your heart. So it's important to remind you that music lovers from West Michigan choose every song you hear on WYCE.  We are all volunteer hosts who are your friends, and your neighbors.

Because listener donations make up the biggest share of revenue that keeps the music playing on WYCE, we're counting on you to join us during our year-end fund drive next Monday through Wednesday, December 16th to 18th. 

We'll be asking for your financial support to help us meet important fundraising needs for the calendar year.

Best of all, every donor has the chance to receive some cool incentives including concert tickets, rare vinyl, and a Talking Heads Boxset. 

You can make your year-end contribution now at wyce dot org forward slash donate, or join us on the air next week here on WYCE!
