Dunwoody is here from The Well Wishers

Dunwoody_WebCoverThe official release of the brand new EP from San Francisco’s The Well Wishers is here. The “Dunwoody EP” encapsulates five sweet, strummy vignettes of some mythical folk in Dunwoody, Georgia – a small suburban enclave just northwest of Atlanta.

According to Jeff Shelton, ” [I] don’t know anyone there…never been, but I suppose that didn’t stop me from writing an EP about it :-)”

Grab the CD here! (ONLY $5 + shipping …PLUS a bonus CD of your choice). Well worth the investment music fans!

If you prefer digital format, the EP is also available at Bandcamp for $5. Links for iTunes, eMusic, CD Baby and other outlets will be available by December 3rd.

Grab the EP on Bandcamp (HQ digital format)

Jeff tells us that a new full length Well Wishers album is on the horizon for 2014. Stay tuned for more updates…

This Tuesday we will be playing three hours of independent, local, and Dayton music for you! Our theme this week is remembrance. We will be exploring how music can create powerful memories, build connections between strangers, and why a song can all too easily transport you back to a moment in time.

We will be chatting with our friends Jeff Rudolf of Sam at Eleven and Tom Gilliam of The Rebel Set about the Cancer Benefit both bands played a few weeks back!

Expect music from Blank Tapes, Wild Nothing, The Rotaries, Apple Tree, Camera Obscura, Underground Lovers, The Men, Baby Bee, The Lost Patrol, Guided by Voices, Luke Frazier, Foals, Still Corners, and many more. Dr. J will also be playing demo of a classic song from The Replacements.

We are working on our next music book discussion — what book about music have you read recently that you would recommend for our next music book conversation? We will be putting up a poll on which book we should discuss. This is important — you, the listener and music lover can decide what book about bands, music, a music scene we should discuss! So, let us know and we will see you on Tuesday on WUDR!Image
