Please join us as we create a realm separate from the space and time we inhabit daily.

Hello,

As our iconic Marquette music and record store, Yooptone Music, celebrates 9 years of serving our community, we’re creating Yooptone Day on September 12th. Handsome and talented owners Jeff Krebs and/or Jake Kuhlman are available for an interview and could also play a song or two on the air to create awareness for the event. Other ideas for a segment: Jeff can talk about 10 “must have” records that every record collection should contain (in his humble opinion, of course). Jake can demonstrate what a beginning guitar, ukulele, or banjo lesson would be like with on-air staff.

Saturday, September 12th

No Irish traditional band in the last thirty years has had a wider impact on audiences throughout the world than Altan. Formed in County Donegal in 1987 by lead vocalist Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and her late husband Frankie Kennedy, the group’s music is influenced by traditional Irish language songs and tunes from Donegal. Over the course of their career, Altan has sold over a million records.

Altan is celebrating forty years on the road, bringing their native music to world-renowned stages such as Carnagie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Dublin’s National Concert Hall as well as to the famous Glastonbury Festival, Tradfest Temple Bar in Dublin, and Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany.

Building on this history, their latest album ‘Donegal’ was released in 2024 (Compass Records) and has received widespread positive reviews. Altan has long been at the forefront of traditional Irish music, blending the raw energy of their native Donegal-fiddle style with a rare, melodic sensibility. Being the first-ever Irish traditional band signed to a major record label, Virgin Records in 1995, The Boston Globe named them “The hottest group in the Celtic realm”.

The band’s original members, lead singer and fiddler, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Ciaran Curran on bouzouki and Mark Kelly on guitar are accompanied by accordion player Martin Tourish, and their newest member, fiddler and singer, Clare Friel.

This free Barn Dance is to celebrate the Alger County Community. Free kid's tent, live music, square dance caller, pie and cake auction and hayrides provided by MSU is only some of the fun. Carberry's Pizza will be available for purchase. A fun time for people of ALL ages.

Beethoven and Banjos is welcoming two extraordinary Malagasy musicians to the Upper Peninsula: Mikahely Razafy and David Rajaonary (Rade). Together with Laurel Premo and Evan Premo, they will create a program that brings these musical worlds together — Mikahely on valiha, guitar and voice, Rade on bass, Laurel on banjo and fiddle, and Evan on double bass. Mikahely’s music is deeply rooted in Madagascar. He sings primarily in Malagasy and plays the valiha, a traditional Malagasy instrument made from bamboo, with strings running around the outside of the cylindrical body — almost like a harp wrapped around a piece of bamboo. Its sound is shimmering and beautiful, and the rhythms in Mikahely’s music are absolutely infectious. Mikahely is a wonderful communicator about Malagasy spirituality, nature, and our relationship with the living world.
