Soup to Nuts
Hosted by George Scheibner
Airs Saturdays at 9:30pm
One thing that WHQR's George Scheibner has long wanted to do is give musicians from the Wilmington music scene a chance to showcase their talents live in our studios. Soup to Nuts Live! is a new monthly concert series in our gallery space where some of the best talent from our area perform before a live audience who will be there just for the music. George hosts and talks with the performers about their lives and their music. The concerts will air during a special night of Soup to Nuts. Soup to Nuts Live! Featuring Mike Blair Nov. 20th, 7:30pm
Evening Concert
Hosted by Pat Marriott
Airs Monday from 8-10pm
Evening Concert originated in the cutting room of a movie studio, when clips from The Music Man and Young Frankenstein were inadvertently spliced together. Long-time host Pat Marriott, a classical, jazz, and Broadway buff and lifelong record collector, astounds and alarms Monday evening audiences with a potpourri of musical "believe-it-or-noddities," pieces that for one reason or another are not generally heard on daytime radio. Often this is simply because they are too bizarre for general consumption.
Listeners get sounds like Michael Daugherty's Le Tombeau de Liberace, JS Bach on the banjo, and Malcolm Arnold's A Grand, Grand Overture, scored for symphony orchestra, floor polisher, 3 vacuum cleaners, and 4 rifles.
Magnolia FatBack Folk Hour
Hosted by John Fonvielle
Airs Saturday Nights 8:00

John Fonvielle is a talented guitarist and bassist who also enjoys playing DJ on Saturday nights after A Prairie Home Companion. From Dylan and the Band to Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, John plays some of America's greatest musical heritage each week on the Magnolia Fatback Folk Hour.
