Check out where Reed will be this coming month, he will be opening with Hall & Oates… don’t miss him and check out his website for more details!

Reed Waddle here, hoping that this change of seasons is a welcomed one. I hope the pollen isn’t bothering you! Despite allergy issues, I’ve got some good things cooking.

First and foremost, I want to thank all of you that came out to the Celebration of Taylor last week. It was truly one of the great nights of my life celebrating Taylor’s life with his family and community. The All American Rejects were truly gracious, playing for thousands for free and opening for them was both and honor and a treat.

It’s hard to top evenings like that, but as they say, when one wave crashes another one begins. A few days ago, I got an email from my buddy John Oates. He invited me to open up for his legendary band Hall and Oates! The concert will be at the Pensacola Civic Center next Sunday April 5Th. I hope that some of you can make it out. It’s been a long time since Hall and Oates has toured and made it to Northwest Florida, so get your tickets now! With over 60 million albums sold, it should be a real treat. I’m so excited for this opportunity.

Please visit www.hallandoates.com for more details.

I’ll also be hitting the road in April, with stops in Louisville, KY, Atlanta, Nashville, New York City, and Boston. Please visit my website www.reedwaddle.com for tour dates and local gigs. I thank you all for your love and support. I hope to see some of you very soon!!

Sincerely,

RW

August 14th was another great evening with this series from Muddy Waters Coffee Bar in West Ashley, SC.

Hannah originally hails from Alabama, but now resides in Columbia, South Carolina. Her excellent album Into the Black is available for download.

Nick Pagliari was born and raised in Memphis Tennessee, but after a few years in Nashville, he’s also ended up living in Columbia too. Must be something to do with the Carolina air! You can get Nick’s album The Sail here.

Anyway, we were privileged to have them play at Muddy Waters, and get to hear them. Nick also gave an interview to NAB Radio, and we’ll be broadcasting that later this year, as part of our new ‘Palmetto Acoustic’ Series of shows that are currently in production.

Of course there’s always a lot goes on behind the scenes that you, the listener, doesn’t know about, or indeed should really even care about – as long as we keep playing great music, right?

Right! Except that a few of you might be kinda interested in what goes on at NAB, so here’s a few things that’s been happening lately.

At Southern Studio #2 we’ve updgraded to the latest version of SAM Broadcaster. It’s been used here since the start of broadcasting here back in April 2007, and has always proved both reliable and flexible enough for our needs.

We’ve just moved this onto a totally dedicated computer. We kind of had this before, but we also ran the station email, and web sites from this machine as well. Not any more. It’s just doing the radio stuff, and nothing more.

Just in are another dozen or so CDs from new artists, that we’ve requested after listening to their demos or promo tracks, and we’ll have those ripped and into the library soon.  Here at NAB we rip to 192K mp3, and stream at 128k, by the way.  We’d love to go all the way up to 320K, but it’s way too expensive for the extra fidelity you get. Ideally, AACplus at 48K is better than 128K mp3, but it limits the amount of listeners, in that many folks simply don’t have AAC set up on their computers. It’s quite easy to do, with a plug-in for WiMP, and Winamp plays AAC right out of the box. Still those that have other programs like Music Match Jukebox and other lesser known players, can handle it.

The Deuce Show has become a regular Tuesday afternoon slot at 3pm, and Gabby & The Wolf are brightening up many folks listening pleasure on a Saturday evenings from 8-10pm with their very own mix of chat and music.

That’s about it for now folks, keep listening, and keep reading this blog to find out all that’s happening at NAB Radio, where you’ll hear music you never even knew you liked!

Yes, we have a brand new show coming to NAB Radio on June 3rd, at 3pm EDT. We’re going to be doing an hour show each week, featuring bands registered with Deuce Management and Promotion from the United Kingdom.

There is some great music coming out of there, and we’re pleased to be able to feature some here, at NAB Radio.

Watch this space for more news about this exciting new program.

Check out our new show, on air live now!
