About me
I'm a singer-songwriter (my real name is Beth DeSombre -- feel free to go check out my WWR artist page!) and a long-time folk fan. Dave Carter and Richard Shindell are my two favorite songwriters. Oh, and my current WWR nickname, E.D. Egg, was bestowed by Jim in the middle of a rant/shoe when he was about to play some of my music and couldn't figure out how to pronounce my name or deal with my username.
Where I live
I live in the Boston area. I moved here for the music -- first, when I chose to go to graduate school here because of the folk music both on the radio (this was before internet radio!) and all the concerts around. Then I moved to central Maine for work, but couldn't stand living in the middle of nowhere. Moved back to the Boston area because I love it here and also because it gave me the chance to get more involved in the music scene again, including re-starting my own music career.
How I found WWR
I ended up sharing a picnic table with Esther Golton at the South Florida Folk Festival; Esther asked me to send my new CD to her at WWR. I did -- but that's not actually how I found the station. A couple weeks later I was doing a google search for the video of my CD release concert that had just been posted, and noticed that one of the links google turned up was a page for me a Whole Wheat Radio. So I wandered over, noticed that some of my songs had been played and ranked, and decided I should have a listen to this station. I started listening and have been hardly able to stop. What a great concept! Wonderful music, an interesting community, and a fascinating way for people to actually control what gets played. So glad I ran into Esther!
