Fans of the electric guitar take heed: there is a new brood of spazzy & emotive, noise-damaged punk rock awash in north carolina. On Saturday July 6th beginning at 7pm, some of these young practitioners will take the stage of the Pinhook for an early show in Durham: teachmehowtodance, tractor beam, emily grimm, and sesame. Get acquaninted! We will be broadcasting the show live from the Pinhook on WXDU 88.7, so tune in if you can't make it out!
This summer Duke Arts will be joining forces with Country Soul Songbook, a Durham based organization uplifting marginalized voices in country music, to present energetic shows with artists from all over the country. On 6/26, the concert will feature a special collaboration between Adia Victoria and Shirlette Ammons as they use poetry and blues to explore the Black Southern Renaissance. The concert starts at 7pm in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens AND will be broadcast live on WXDU 88.7 and wxdu.org (use the player over there on the right). Entry is free and families are welcome! For more information regarding the artist lineup, directions or parking, go to https://arts.duke.edu/music-in-the-gardens/.
No, we don't have a custom WXDU iPhone app. We've found something BETTER: an app that will let you listen to any streaming radio station: TuneIn Radio, powered by TuneIn.com. It allows you to record, pause & rewind streams, view cover art & artist info. And it's available for iPhone, Android, Palm and Blackberry!
October 2013 marked our 30th year on the air, and in celebration we launched an ongoing project to put archival material online.
