WVKR Live Sets

Part of our mission at WVKR is to help make Vassar and the Hudson Valley a hub for musical diversity and innovation.  We accomplish this task primarily through our regular programming, but another component which has taken off in recent years are the live recordings of visiting bands we air.  In order to further encourage you to lend us your support during this year’s pledge drive we thought we would post some of our stand out live sets from last year.

The Number
To Clean
