Liars, Matmos, and June Star

 

Childhood lies:  Why did we tell them?  And what in the world made us think we could get away with them?  From the Vauxhall vaudeville variety program “LIARS,” we hear guilty grown-ups come clean about the whoppers they told when they were kids.



A Radio Mini-Concert with June Star

His music has been called ‘thinking man’s country,’ and for fifteen years he’s been the steady anchor of a band that’s always hovered just under the radar of widespread recognition.  Singer / songwriter Andrew Grimm is the founder and front-man of June Star, and Aaron Henkin invited him to the program to share a little music and conversation.



Matmos

 

The Baltimore-based band, Matmos, has built a reputation for creating a vast array of weird and wonderful experimental music over the past two decades, and their latest project continues that tradition. The Signal’s Lisa Morgan brings us this profile.
