Today’s program featured music from Wussy, The Tragically Hip, Fancy Gap, Latvian Radio, Shai Fox, Rockaway, The English Beat, The Talking Heads, The Boxcar Suite, Smug Brothers, Friedberg, Brian Lisik, and much more. We also heard two songs recorded by and two live songs performed by our guests, Kyleen Downes and Sisco Red of Freya’s Felines.

Freya’s Felines is an engaging band from Dayton, Ohio, blending a unique mix of indie rock and folk influences with a touch of ethereal storytelling. The group’s name, inspired by Freya, the Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, and cats, reflects their whimsical yet deeply introspective artistic vision. Their music resonates with themes of nature, mysticism, and human connection, offering a fresh sound that has captivated local audiences.

The band, which began as a trio, is now composed of four members: guitarists and vocalists Kyleen Downes and Sisco Red form an unshakeable foundation. Their voices blend in waves of evocative yet accessible timbre, pitch, and flow. Abigail Moone’s hauntingly soulful voice serves as a key part of their sound. The most recent member Gabriella Erbacher is a bassist who brings a rhythmic pulse to their tracks with an almost soulful groove. Moone also contributes drumming whose subtle yet powerful beats add depth to their arrangements. Together, these musicians weave a sonic atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive, drawing listeners into their world.
