On Saturday, July 29th, WFMU will pre-empt its regular programming for nine hours of girl-group mojo! At the Damrosch Park bandshell, Lincoln Center Out of Doors and the Ponderosa Stomp Foundation will present the most comprehensive array of female vocalists ever assembled on one stage -- and WFMU is broadcasting the performance live.
She's Got the Power is a stage spectacular featuring Ronnie Spector, Lesley Gore, and over a dozen other greats from such groups as the Crystals, the Raindrops, and the Angels (and more). The show runs from 5 to 10 PM; WFMU's festivities will kick off with a live broadcast of Rex's Fool's Paradise at 1 PM. There will be tunes, interviews, and excited patter courtesy of hosts Rex, Debbie D., Dave the Spazz, and Gaylord Fields. Best of all, the event will be another WFMU listener meet-up -- all the more reason to come down/up to Lincoln Center and experience it all in person. See you there.

But that's not even all! Marty is doing an all-cassette show; Matt Bauer stopped by Irene Trudel's program; The Men are coming up next week. Please check WFMU's Upcoming page for all the details, and for a link to upcoming fill-ins.
