WRCT: a radio station

Coming to a radio or web stream near you, the 2022 edition of WRCT’s Massive Music Weekend!

We are preparing 54 hours of non-stop music from our favorite artists, starting at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2022 and continuing all weekend long!

Every half-hour we’ll feature a different artist, handpicked for your listening pleasure by our own station members. It’s a massively diverse set of artists this year. You’ll hear some of your favorite artists, some you’ve forgotten about, and some whose music is brand new to you!

You don’t want to miss the fun this weekend on WRCT, 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or streaming from this very website!

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!

Wednesday, March 2, Réjean Brunet of the Quebecois band Le Vent Du Nord will be appearing on WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast at about 11:20 a.m.! Tune in to learn about maple syrup, the hurdy-gurdy, and the living and evolving culture of high energy Quebecois music — a combination of Scottish, Irish, and French music imported to Canada.

Le Vent du Nord will be appearing in Pittsburgh on March 12.

The interview will be repeated on the encore broadcast of Whiskey Before Breakfast at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, March 10. It will also be archived at Mandorichard’s MixCloud page.

So catch the excitement by tuning in to WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast, 11:00 a.m., Wednesday March 2 or 9:00 a.m., Thursday March 10 on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or streaming from this very website.
