You going to Folklife this year? We'll be broadcasting periodically from the VERA stage throughout the weekend and we even have our own SHOWCASE this year. The Weekly suggests you attend (and so do we)!

IT WILL BE LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN AT FOLKLIFE BEFORE.

"Hollow Earth Radio Showcase Sunday, May 26, 7–10 p.m. From its studio in the Central District, grassroots online radio station Hollow Earth provides outside-the-bandwidth music and other creative audio thoughts for adventurous ears, which makes it a natural choice for the loose-form, art-forward Folklife festival. This year, Hollow Earth’s showcase features eerie sound-capture technicians Scorpio Scorpio Scorpio (from the band’s bio: “Live performances occur primarily around the Solstice/Equinox”); edgy improv noisemaker Eric Ostrowski; left-field singer/songwriter Autococoon; and inventive singer/multi-instrumentalist Sokai Stilhed (pronounced “sockeye steelhead”). Altogether, a great fit for such an eclectic festival. Vera Project. TODD HAMM. Seattle Weekly

The Seattle Foundation’s Give BIG is a one-day, online charitable giving event to inspire people to give generously to nonprofit organizations - a percentage of every dollar donated will be matched by the Seattle Foundation and GiveBIG sponsors. This year, Hollow Earth Radio is participating and we could use your help more than ever. As you may know, recent legislation has opened up new opportunities for community radio stations to apply for Low Power FM licenses and Hollow Earth is in the running to claim one of these frequencies in Seattle. In order to prepare ourselves for the transition to FM broadcasting, we will need major studio upgrades. To participate in Give Big and help out your local community radio station, visit Hollow Earth Radio’s page on the Seattle Foundation Website.

On Friday, April 26th Hollow Earth Radio and CTPAK Records will team up to present an evening of unique electronic-leaning solo artists.
