Neal Dare Waves

Mark your calendars because for the first time EVER, WRUW will be hosting a day of music from genres not normally found on our annual Studio-A-Rama ticket.

The event will take place on August 19th from 1-5 p.m. at Fairport Harbor Lighthouse and Marine Museum, located at 301 Huntington Beach Dr. in Fairport Harbor, OH.

The event will feature Polka Revolution, Sheela and the Others, Seafair, and Fior Gael, all bands from Northeast Ohio who will be playing polka, country, bluegrass, and Irish music respectively.

Feel free to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and a picnic lunch, just please don't bring any glass bottles!

You can be sure of one thing this summer: WRUW is 45 and we're doing more than ever to celebrate our station and thank our listeners for almost half a century of beautiful music on the airwaves and streaming online. Join us for music and hotdogs, FOR FREE this August. We appreciate all of our diverse listeners!
