Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater is going to be stopping by the WPVM studios during “The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly” this Friday, Oct. 24, sometime between 2 and 3 pm. He’ll be playing that evening at the Grey Eagle here in Asheville (WPVM favorite and frequent guest May Family Reunion will be opening up). If you haven’t heard Rook, Shearwater’s latest full-length, you should check it out immediately (myspace and website). We’re expecting that Jonathan will bring his guitar (and perhaps banjo) into the studio, but we’ve also been told that he likes to spin records, so when he does show up, we’ll chat a bit and hand over the keys to the show. We’ll also be giving away a pair of tickets to the concert while he’s in the studio–and another pair sometime before he arrives (hint: if I were you, I’d listen to Activate! Asheville on Wednesday morning with Kim, 10-noon). Tune in!

This Saturday, Molly and Lucia will be honoring Police Brutality Awareness Day and the October 22nd Coalition in an interview with the local Asheville chapter of Cop Watch.
