This week on the Jax Music Hour (Saturdays at 8PM on WJCT News 89.9 FM), we spun an hour of the great music we’ll be hearing at Winterland Six next weekend, February 23-25, at James Weldon Johnson Park in Downtown Jacksonville. Get tickets and dig into JME‘s full festival guide here.
Glenn Van Dyke and Lena Simon, Winterland organizers and members of the local band Kairos Creature Club, came by the studio to chat about the festival (and to strategize about acting cool around Blonde Redhead, who headline the festival with Osees, Caroline Rose, Isaiah Collier, and Wombo). Winterland and the Jacksonville Music Experience have a lot in common: we both place an emphasis on mixing the local with the national right here in Northeast Florida. In this hour-long playlist, local acts and touring bands weave together just like they will on the festival stage next weekend.
Here’s what played on the Jax Music Hour this week. Catch future episodes of the show on the air on 89.9 WJCT News every Saturday at 8PM, part of JME Saturday Nights.
