WGDR

Acoustic Harmony
Mark Michaelis
Day: Alternating Saturdays
Time: 04:30 PM - 07:30 PM

I think the best description of my show lies in it's name, Acoustic Harmony. The focus is on contemporary and traditional folk, singer songwriters and local artists, but a little of anything and everything might creep in. Whether it's celtic, bluegrass, world music or even rock or blues, as long as it's got beautiful harmonies and melodies you might here it here on a Saturday afternoon. I also recently had my first live in studio on air interview with local artists (Mark LeGrand and Sara Munro) and hope to be doing more of that in the future. The program alternates weekly, so tune in and call if you like what you're hearing, requests are always welcome.

I've been a programmer at WGDR since 1989. The "radio bug" first bit me as a student at Purdue University, where I became acquainted with the wonderful world of free format radio by hosting a campus broadcast music program for several years. The chance to bring relatively unknown music and musicians to the attention of others was exciting and I was hooked! Born in the midwest and after bouncing around various parts of the country, I settled in the hills of Marshfield where I'll spend the rest of my days. Central Vermont is a beautifully unique and inspiring place which must explain the wealth of truly talented artists and musicians that are found throughout this area.
