Pass the word!!!

INFO ON THE CAUSE:
Police investigate a mysterious chainsaw "massacre" that may have destroyed 15 sycamore trees along St. Mary's-by-the-Sea during the nasty storm Saturday night March 13th.

Fifteen stately sycamore trees lining the waterfront walkway in the scenic neighborhood park were vandalized -- perhaps fatally -- by "girding" cuts, sliced several inches into their circumference. The deep cuts, apparently inflicted with a chainsaw, prevent nutrients from traveling up a tree's bark to the leaves.

Brian Dolazni on the Sunday Brunch Concert

Sunday, April 18, 1:00 p.m.
Live in our studio and on the air!

"There is something insistent in Dolzani's music that won me over" - TIRBD blog

[Brian] exudes the melodic charm and trebly vocal hitches of Jules Shear and the heartbreaking warmth and intriguing lyrical turns of Freedy Johnston" - Cincinnati City Beat

Brian Dolzani is an engaging and energetic singer/songwriter, drawing comparisons to artists such as Dave Matthews, Neil Young, and Freedy Johnston. He is supporting his 5th CD release, the self-titled 'Brian Dolzani'. Brian tours across New England and beyond, pulling audiences into his introspective, emotive and deeply imagistic songwriting. Tune in to hear songs from his latest release, as well as some brand new songs from his ever-evolving songwriting catalog. Not to be missed.

This show takes place in the friendly confines of our FM studio. Space is limited. Please call 203-331-9756 for reservations.
