WOAS news and history
Our friend Matt Glendinning from the Moses Brown School in Providence, RI sent along their newest ‘School is Closed’ video.

Brianna Lane made a rare second day performance on the Singing Hills stage. While it is not unusual for an artist to appear on both stages over the PMMF weekend, Lane was the first artist I can remember playing the Singing Hills Stage twice. In the top half of the inning (Friday) at the […]

Once upon a time, the WOAS-FM day-shift was populated by students who were seeking an escape from study hall.

Anyone remember the the game “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon?” It essentially follows that any actor one can think of can be connected to actor/musician Kevin Bacon in six or less steps (or degrees, if you will). It is an adaptation of the old parlour game that says that any two people on Earth are […]
Oh my – how did I miss this in 2013? If you did too, let me explain – Def Leppard concocted a fictious Def Leppard band Ded Flatbird and opened for themselves during a nine night run in Las Vegas – what a concept – certainly looks like they had fun. Apparently some in the […]
