Twenty volunteers who were trained to post playlists have reduced playlist entries to May, June and July! Our youngest volunteer is 16 year old Connor Ringenberg. Connor has done an outstanding job of helping Operations with routine production tasks. Sharon Haley Anderson, who started as an intern at WWOZ in the fall of 2010, has made the decision to remain on board as a volunteer. 10. Marketing.

  • Revivalists American Pale Ale
    The Revivalists & NOLA Brewing Company Announce Revivalists American Pale Ale The Beer Will Debut at the Band’s Annual New Year’s Eve Residency December 29-31st at The Orpheum Theater in New Orleans A Portion of the Proceeds to Benefit The Roots of Music Foundation (Photo credit: Brantley Gutierrez) Today, chart-topping rock band The Revivalists have announced a partnership with NOLA Brewing Company to release Revivalists American Pale Ale. Debuting during the band’s annual New Year’s Eve residency at The Orpheum Theater in their hometown of New Orleans, the initial launch will be exclusive to the New Orleans metropolitan area and will grow to NOLA Brewing's entire distribution network. The beer is a slightly bitter, yet juicy American Pale Ale that is heavily dry-hopped with Citra and Simcoe hops coming in at 5% ABV. A portion of the proceeds earned will benefit The Roots of Music Foundation. A cause extremely close to the hearts of The Revivalists as well as NOLA Brewing Company, the foundation is an after-school organization that teaches children from low income neighborhoods how to play music and gives them a hot meal each day. “We are proud to partner with NOLA Brewing Company on this project to give something back to a city that has given us so much. The Roots of Music is a cause that we believe strongly in – to empower children with the music and culture that makes this city so unique. Plus the beer tastes awesome!” says Ed Williams, The Revivalists’ pedal steel guitar player.

  • Peter Novelli Peternovelli.Com
    Peter Novelli peternovelli.com Guitarist / singer / songwriter Peter Novelli is based in New Orleans. The Peter Novelli Band plays Louisiana roots and blues, a blend of blues-rock-R&B-funk with some zydeco-cajun influences. Novelli’s CD Louisiana Roots & Blues (June 12 release) with his core rhythm section Darryl White (drums, formerly w/ Tab Benoit and Chris Thomas King), Chris Chew (bass, North Mississippi Allstars), Joe Krown (B3 and piano, formerly w/ late Gatemouth Brown), and special guests Chubby Carrier (Grammy-winning zydeco accordionist), Chris Thomas King (lap slide guitar, Grammy “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou”), Shamarr Allen (trumpet) and Elaine and Lisa Foster on vocals. Novelli’s debut CD, produced by bassist David Hyde, hit the charts within a month of release and gathered widespread critical acclaim. His originals, with a few selected covers, made a journey through Louisiana-American blues-roots music. Guests include Dr. John, Paul Barrere, Augie Meyers, the late Gatemouth Brown’s rhythm section, and top Lousiana musicians. The CD includes an historical Tribute To Slim Harpo, with members of Harpo’s band including James Johnson, and interviews with Johnson, the late Raful Neal and “Big” Johnny Thomassie. Novelli started violin at age 6, picked up guitar at 14 after hearing a BB King record. The intensity, passion and raw emotional content of some of the blues masters (black and white, American and British) stuck in his ear and that is what drives him to this day. He likes to combine this feel with harmonic ideas of jazz, the relentless groove of zydeco, and just about any cool and unusual style of music or rhythm that works.
