WRCT: a radio station

Mark Stein, lead singer and keyboardist for Vanilla Fudge joins Court’s in Session, Thursday March 17, shortly after 8:00 p.m. Tune in as your Rockin’ Attorney, Eric Jackson Lurie, chats with the rock ‘n’ roll icon who helped open the doors for heavy metal.

Vanilla Fudge was one of the top bands of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and even The Who cite them as an influence! In fact, Led Zeppelin opened for Vanilla Fudge on their stairway to stardom.

Mark will talk about the current reunion of three of the bands’ original members, their upcoming tour, and his new solo album, There’s a Light — which isn’t afraid to mix rock ‘n’ roll with social issues.

This Thursday night (March 17) at 8:00 p.m. EDT, only on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, and streaming from this very website. Oh, and if you are painting the town green on St. Paddy’s Day, this Court’s In Session episode — and Mark’s interview — will be repeated at noon, Monday March 21.

WRCT has scored another radio premiere!

The new single from Laura Orshaw, a duet with Trey Hensley titled “On Her Own,” will make its radio debut on WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast on Wednesday, March 9. Laura’s singing and fiddling are attracting national attention in the Bluegrass and Americana/Roots areas. This new single will show you why.

Mandorichard expects that Laura’s “On Her Own” will air at about 11:35 a.m. on March 9, and again at about 9:35 a.m. on March 17. “But tune in for the full show,” he says. “I’ve got lots of music from all over the folk spectrum on the program — including a medley of ‘fiddle tunes’ recorded by Guy Lombardo!”

Catch the craziness on WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast, 11:00 a.m. on Wednesdays (encore shows at 9:00 a.m. Thursdays), on 88.3 FM Pittsburgh, and streaming from this very website!
