On Wednesday, May 13, Pharis & Jason Romero will join WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast at about 11:20 a.m. for a chat about their new record, Bet on Love — out on May 15, their music, the banjos they make, and their life in Horsefly, BC. And of course, you’ll get to hear music from the new record, too!
Romero Banjos have been sought after ever since Jason opened his shop in 2002. And the music Pharis and Jason make is hauntingly beautiful — steeped in the old-time tradition.
So tune in to WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. this and every Wednesday on 88.3 FM Pittsburgh and streaming from this very website.
(If you miss this week’s interview, after it airs on WRCT, you’ll be able to find it at MandoRichard’s Mixcloud Page, along with conversation and music from many other Whiskey Before Breakfast guests.)

Most live music events are cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But many artists are having live events on line!
The WRCT Exec board has just published the WRCT Virtual Calendar to help you keep track of live music events you can stream online from the safety of your own home!
Now more than ever, it’s critical to support the local artists in your community — and artists around the world, so please check out the WRCT Virtual Calendar!
If you have an online event, concert, or album release you’d like us to add, direct message us on Facebook or Instagram, or send email to pr@wrct.org.
WRCT joins you in supporting the music!
