'Radio from Downtown' returns to Avalon, WESM
Listeners to Delmarva’s radio station will be thrilled to learn about the return of "Radio from Downtown" to the historic Avalon Theater in Easton, and to WESM.
The new, possibly improved, show will feature music from acoustic guitarists Tim Alexander and Sandy Shalk, celebrating the release of their CD, "Giving Voice"; environmental writer Tom Horton; the Downtown Players, with an original radio play featuring The Downtown Players with Susan Stamberg and Carl Kasell from National Public Radio; music from the RFD house band, the No-no Nonette (streamlined to eight pieces for this performance only); and the Flamingo Brothers, Phil and Ramone. A few surprises cannot be ruled out.
"We’re trying to make the show behave like a real radio show—have been for years," commented executive producer Van Williamson, taking a break from dumpster diving behind the Safeway on Kent Island. "There’s just something about the format that is irritating to a lot of people, including us—it makes it gooey and hard to light, but we keep trying to fix it. I have every reason to believe we’ll get it down real good by the time the show rolls around."
The performance begins on October 7th with music from the house band at 7:30 p.m., and the taping starts at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased by mail from the Avalon Theater (40 East Dover Street, Easton, MD 21601), from Jonas’ Attic in Easton, or through Ticketmaster.
For more information, call the theater at 410-822-7299. The broadcast here on WESM will be Friday, October 20th, at 8:00 PM. “Radio from Downtown” is void where prohibited.
We're playing a radio gig! Wish us luck

I second that. It's sure to be hair raising, but I'm sure you'll do fine.
