VIA PRESS RELEASE | A Special Music Programming Experience on Thanksgiving Day
Celebrating 40 years as an independent broadcaster, Radio Woodstock (100.1 WDST licensed to Woodstock, New York) celebrates the Thanksgiving holiday connecting listeners with the record albums that have had an enduring impact on their lives. “Record Day” asks engaged listeners to submit their favorite albums they are “most thankful for.” Radio Woodstock will play these entire albums on Thursday, November 26, 2020 from 7am-10pm, creating the ultimate listener-curated Thanksgiving day album soundtrack.
The “Record Day” line-up includes The Last Waltz by The Band, 11-17-70 by Elton John, Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant Massacree (scheduled for 9AM), and Alice’s Restaurant Massacree Revisited (scheduled for 12pm). Listeners can submit their favorite albums by emailing live@radiowoodstock.com and can tune in 100.1 FM in the Hudson Valley, or listen to the live stream worldwide via the iHeartRadio app or online at radiowoodstock.com. “Record Day” is supported by Gary DiMauro Real Estate and Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie.
Radio Woodstock’s Director of Programming Greg Gattine says, “This year let’s be especially grateful for the music and how it connects us to ourselves, to each other and to the universe. On Thanksgiving let’s go back to a time when we listened to the whole album, in order from side A to side B, and have the shared experience that we’re all listening to Rock n’ Roll history.”
